Shayli Lady... chicken pox... darned hot tub






So last Saturday Shayli woke up and told me that the inside of ear hurt. Not like an ear infection... more like a sore bump. So we diagnosed it as a zit and went about our day. When i picked her up from a friends house later she hopped in the car and said, "i found a lot more zits today." I automatically started to ask her where she had them and when she said that they were mostly on her belly and back I thought, "Oh know! Can't be good!" Then she said that they itched. I didn't think that it was chicken pox because she has already had a bad case AND she has been vaccinated but to make sure that she didn't have anything contagious I called an after hours nurse hot line and she told me to take her to an Urgen Care on Sunday morning. So I did and she was diagnosed with the Chicken Pox. Poor girl felt horrible that she may have exposed the boys and a bunch of other kids and of course felt horrible and uncomfortable with the itching. So we bought her some fun things to do in her room, called the school on Monday to let them know, Grameri picked up her school work on Tuesday afternoon and then on Tuesday evenging my friend Stacie called. Stacie's girl had spent the end of last week and most of the weekend with Shayli and they ended up with the "spots" too. But she took her girls to a different doc on Tuesday and he diagnosed them with a virus that you can contract from a hot tub. The girls had been hot tubbing so that made sense. So I took Shayli to the same doc that the other girls went to and sure enough... not Chicken Pox. Grrr... poor Shayli had to miss school, be in quarantine and take some sick medication for nothing. Not cool. Here are some pics of her and her friends playing, frosting cookies, Shayli in the docs office, one of the nasty bumps, hanging out in her room in quarantine and the blasted hot tub that caused the whole fiasco. Shayli was SUCH a trooper through the whole ordeal. LOVE YOU SHAYLI GIRL! ♥
