I don't remember the chicken pox being that bad. The worst thing about them as a child was that I had to miss the zoo trip in 1st grade. And since I am sometimes leary of immunizations (the schedule and the types of things that are being immunized), R and I decided not to give them the varicella immunization. And this past month, we finally had success.
F. got them first, then two weeks later (almost to the hour) S came out with pox, and two days later A. succumbed. It was a hard month, but the boys did surprisingly well. Each boy had only about 28 miserable hours, which we treated with oatmeal baths, treats, lots of calamine lotion, and television shows.
The other pictures to come when I can find them.
