Chicken Pox

The boys got chicken pox last year and it was horrible. They were so sick - there wasn't anywhere they didn't have sores - scalp, ears, mouth.

Then the girls got chicken pox - but not really. About 10 spots each. Not sick AT ALL!

It turns out that the girls were immunised. Obviously still caught it but with very minimal side effects.

I would have definitely gotten the boys immunised had I realised they weren't. They were as sick as I'd ever seen them, I could not sooth their itchiness and 5 mornings in a row my beautiful boys woke up crying. Yes I would have immunised to avoid that :-(
