Souvenir?

As part of our travels we collected some souvenirs. The kids, of course, didn't really know what a souvenir was. To them, they were just getting cool new stuff. So it was fun to talk about vacations and souvenirs. Oddly though it was only the little people who ended up with souvenirs!

We arrived home to discover that Ellie had managed to collect another, unwanted, souvenir along the way. Spots! Many many spots that itch terribly so.

Bug bites? But there are so many of them and they are spreading!

Could it really be chickenpox? But she's had the vaccine and the booster. Though, it was still a possibility. If this is the case, it is possible that she had this in her system before we even left for vacation. Grandma checked them out last night and thought it could just be the chickenpox and she's heard that it is going around.

But then this morning we thought a few of the spots were fading.

Carie talked with the Peds office this morning and they don’t suspect chickenpox, especially with the potentially fading spots.

So we wait and see. Outside of the spots and the urge to itch, you wouldn't know that she was "sick". Spencer and Abby are the one's who've been sporting the high temps!

Whatever this is I hope it is settled down before school starts in just 2 short weeks. ACK – TWO WEEKS!
