chicken pox shot

The chicken pox shot has been around a little while, but only one child of mine had had it: Seth. Everyone else had chicken pox (most in this house), but with Seth he actually recieved the shot (August 27, 2003 to be exact).

Today I took three to the Doctor, Jacob for a shot for poison ivy (which engulfs him the minute it touches his skin), Sarah who has a uninary track infection and Seth for the goofy little rash (bumps) he has.

Jacob got a shot, Sarah new meds and Seth has CHICKEN POX! The medical practictioner looked and him and said "Honey that looks like chicken pox!". I was shocked! It did not look a lot like chicken pox. It started on his leg and he has not run fever at all! I called the Health Dept when we got home and checked again to be sure he had the shot....she said yes he did....but likely would not run much fever and get over it quickly!

Seth gets very offended when we say he has chicken pox, he thinks the kids are calling him a chicken...lol

I suppose it is safe to say he would have had a tremendous case had we not done the shot, as it is moving right along his little body right now!!
