Chickens Strike!

Yesterday Justin had TWO blistery like spots on his body.  One on his backside, the other "in a hot spot".

Thought nothing of it really.  Just an anomally in the life of raising a boy child.

He had a hard time settling to bed last night as was still awake (but quiet) when I gave his bottle of water for when he wakes up in the morning.

This morning, he woke up, I got him up.  He seemed a wee bit dozey.  We did our morning  inspection of the property.   Then we got dressed properly for the day and he has spots over his back! 

Since we were planning on having a day trip to London (Jim has to visit a parishoner) I thought I'd do a quick stop at the ER.  Found out that he has chicken pox...and they didn't even do the whole check in thing.  The out-going doc just gave his back a quick peek and said "YUP!  That's chicken pox!"

So we came home, had a nice breakfast, Justin got a bit fussy and back to bed (with a bit of tylenol in him).   He's having a nice nap.
