Chicken Pox

Funny Story......

So, Sarah woke up Tues morning with a spot on her hand that I thought was a bug bite. No big deal, but I still had Jimmy check the bed for spiders (he found no spiders). Later that morning as I took off her pajamas to give her a bath I noticed that she had "bug bites" all over both of her arms. I called the Drs. office and they told me not to bring her in because she had a case of the CHICKEN POX!


This really would have been no big deal except for the fact that her birthday party was planned for SATURDAY! So, Jimmy and I called everyone and rescheduled the party and quarantined (bad spelling I know) our house. We bought calomine lotion and oatmeal bubble bath and faithfully called everyone she had been exposed to over the past five days........

Then today I decided to call the Dr. again because the sores were not behaving as chicken pox are supposed to. So, they had me bring her in so they could tell me that she is.........

ALLERGIC TO SOME KIND OF BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!! They don't know what kind of bug, possibly fleas (even though we have no pets and have never seen a flea on her). Whatever, apparently you don't have to be super intelligent to get into med school..... you just have to be able to read one of the books that you keep in your fancy office that tells you the difference between chicken pox and flea bites.
