Chicken Pox/Varicela

John has Chicken Pox! Yes, that's right. It all started with my cousins. Only 3 days after arriving, Melanie started to get spots on her body, the weird thing about it is that she never got sick, never got a fever and never began to ache. She had a really, really, mild case even though she has never had the vaccine. 4 days after she got it, her brother Axel started showing signs as well, but he ended up getting it worse than her. It was all over his body and face (poor little guy). So I thought Lili and John might get it because they were in contact with their cousins the entire time they were staying with us (and even after). Last Thursday John got a short-lived fever and on Saturday I noticed a spot in his right leg and it looked like it might be chicken pox. On Sunday he got another spot on his head. The weird thing about it is that this whole time (starting Saturday) he has been getting some spots here and there, but they almost always end up disappearing. So far he has 3 that have stayed: one on his leg and 2 on his head...that's it. I took him to the doctor yesterday because I wanted to know for sure if it was chicken pox. The doctor said that she is 90% sure that it is chicken pox because of his symptoms. Now, this is not the end of the story. This morning when I was changing Lili I noticed she had a spot on her bum and tonight when I gave her a bath I noticed another one on her leg. I guess we will have to wait to see how she wakes up tomorrow (Mac thinks that she'll be alive).

John tiene Varicela!. Enserio. Todo comenzo con mis primos. Solo 3 dias despues de que llegaron, Melanie empezo a tener ronchitas en su cuerpo. Lo raro es que nunca se sintio enferma, nunca tuvo fiebre y no le picaba. la verdad es que fue una leve varicela aunque ella nunca tuvo la vacuna contra la varicela. 4 dias despues de que ella empezo con varicela, su hemano Axel empezo con varicela pero a el le agarro bastante mal. Tenia su cuerpo y cara cubierto de ronchitas (pobresito). Asi que pense que Lili y John podrian agarrarsela porque estuvieron en contacto con sus primos todo el tiempo mientras se quedaron con nosotros en la casa y despues. El jueves pasado John tuvo una fiebre por un ratito no mas y el sabado vi que el tenia una rochita en su pierna derecha y parecia como varicela. El domingo le aparecio otra en su cabeza. Lo raro de todo esto es que todo este tiempo (empezando el sabado) le estuvieron saliendo algunas ronchitas pero casi todas desaparecian. Por ahora tiene 3 ronchitas que permanecieron; una en su pierna y 2 en su cabeza... y eso es todo. Ayer lo lleve al medico porque queria saber de seguro si es varicela o no. La doctora me dijo que ella esta 90% segura de que es varicela por los sintomas que tuvo y las ronchitas en su cuerpo. Bueno pero esto no es el final de la historia. Esta manana cuando estaba cambiando a Lili le note que tenia una ronchita en el cachete de su cola y esta noche cuando le di un bano le vi otra en la pierna. Asi que vamos a ver como se levanta manana (Mac dice que va a estar viva).
