Pic-A-Pox

Okay, I actually just couldn't resist using that title for my post! Hahaha! James is doing pretty well, considering that his arms, legs and toosh are covered in chickenpox! I've been keeping him in sleepers so that he can't scratch them - but as soon as he gets undressed for a diaper change he goes after them. So far he has none on his head, face or really on his torso at all - just the arms and legs, hands and feet. I am taking him to the local health nurse today, just to confirm that it is chickenpox. I've been giving him oatmeal/baking soda baths, slathering him in Calamine lotion, and giving him Tylenol. He's doing okay, but he is definately fussy, has little appetite, and the nights have been rough. Poor little guy! I feel so bad for him - but it will all be over soon. I will try and post some pictures later on.
