well diedre's chicken pox is hopefully at its worst today. she is so uncomfortable and has spots upon spots. its so sad to watch and leaves me feeling so helpless. i basically made her have a bath this morning and put polysporin all over. then later she asked for more cream by her ears and back and so i was able to reapply all over.
at this point (mid-afternoon) she is sitting naked on a towel watching t.v.
she doesnt want any clothes or any popsicles or drinks or anything and just keeps saying "i dont want this" pointing to her spots. :(
just a quick note from last night: here's derek teaching our young lad how to play guitar.

wow that does not look nice. poor sweetie!
ya, i sure hope today is the worst...it looks like most of her spots are "cloudy" so we just have to wait for the clear spots to become cloudy and then that means its near the end (well, as long as no new spots keep appearing). but ya, scratching sure made a mess of things...ick.
oh ow. that looks really really uncomfortable. i hope you are giving her whatever she wants! ;)
looks like ezekiel has improved more quickly? i hear that often the younger siblings get it easier.
hoping things clear up soon for your household. not fun.

ya, ezekiel had 2 bad days/nights and otherwise was more himself, she had more like 3 bad nights/4 bad days. yesterday being the worst day. she is definitely getting whatever she wants (but we have been giving her baths, medicines or cream even when she doesnt want).
ugh! your poor family. I hope you can manage to catch up on all the sleep you've missed (collective you). I'm also a little late checking no this, so I hope that Deidre is well on her way to recovery!! poor sweet babies...
poor girl!
i remember having chicken pox that bad as well and i can totally understand that she doesn´t want them any longer.....
hope she´s feeling better this weekend!
