SO now that Garrett has had the Chicken Pox, little Isabella has been next to get them.  We did take her to the Dr as well, and yes it is chicken pox.  It is odd though, because when you google Chicken Pox Photos, you see these blistering spots, and Isabella never had the blisters.  She did have a few spots come up which looked more like bug bites than blisters.  And she has this horrible dark pink rash after the first few days....

First the spots:


Then the dark pink rash:


(never mind the red stamps on her legs:)

I find it odd that there weren't the blisters - I really expected blisters.  I will be taking these photos to the Dr to show here the various stages of it.  It lasted all in all about a week and a half.  She was VERY itchy with it, to the point that Benadryl was not helping, so I called and the Dr gave us a prescription for another 'itch' medicine.  This other one gave her good relief.

The baby, who is nearly a year, has not broken out in any spots or rash yet.  I'm contributing this to the antibodies she received from me when I was Breastfeeding her.  I just stopped nursing her when she was about 11 months, so I am assuming this is why she hasn't broken out...I will ask my Dr what she thinks though.

And our oldest never broke out either, but he and Garrett were vaccinated against the virus.  So, it seems that his body took to the vaccine better than his brother's did - which only means that he'll have the virus later on in life.  I'm really hoping this will be before he enters the workforce.

Blessings,
Hope
