Poor sweet Katie pie! I hope she's feeling ...Oh No! Poor sweet Katie pie! I hope she's feeling better now.<BR/><BR/>I had the pox as a kid and ended uith minor complications and lots of scarring. But nothing life threatening. My childhood friend got it around the same time as me, and she died from her chicken pox. I was devastated.<BR/><BR/>And then my uncle, who had chicken pox as a kid, had a serious repercussion from it, causing shingles and difficulty with balance and walking. The problems didn't show until he was an adult.<BR/><BR/>I think because of my experiences and fears, I chose to give my kids the vax. None of them have had it yet, and I hope they never do.<BR/><BR/>Nothing's guaranteed, I know, and I hope I made the right choice. For now, I feel confidant that I did. Time will tell, I suppose, but life happens, right?<BR/><BR/>All we can do is inform and educate ourselves and make the best choices for our own families. :)<BR/><BR/>BoBo looks adorable in that photo, by the way.Funny how we have to sometimes cover ourselves and defend our possinly questionable actions, just in case anyone might think or say something negative. lol!<BR/>I didn't even think anything about BoBo being attached to the trailer. I just noticed how cute he was. hehe<BR/><BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105389627022519073.post-4631187911514992762009-02-16T13:00:00.000-08:002009-02-16T13:00:00.000-08:00Ok Mom, first be funny and buy her the kid book ti...Ok Mom, first be funny and buy her the kid book titled "Itchy, itchy chickenpox!"<BR/><BR/>Then, give her my sympathies as well. I had them at 16 and it was awful! I had to drop out of driver's ed, I missed a month of school, just ick!<BR/><BR/>And lastly, I've heard the last round of vaccine from the last couple years has NOT been protecting from chicken pox. It's going around at Dude's school side by side with something that doesn't quite look like chickenpox, but sorta acts like it, minus the blisters. This leaves me wondering if the vaccine is really just setting our kids up to get chickenpox as an adult- which can lead to all sorts of problems in itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105389627022519073.post-81476887933756732212009-02-16T12:35:00.000-08:002009-02-16T12:35:00.000-08:00To all-Thanks for your well wishes!

I hate the vaccination intensity.<BR/><BR/>Soaking in baking soda is nice, although it only works while your soaking.

That is not any fun at all. <BR/><BR/>Your little man was so darn cute with his chicken pox!! It's a lot easier when they are younger. <BR/><BR/>I only had one pox, when I had them, and none of my kids have had them. I wonder if they need to get busters as they get older???<BR/><BR/>And I am glad you got to ride Bo. Sounds like a wonderful ride.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105389627022519073.post-40263435860586158032009-02-15T19:17:00.000-08:002009-02-15T19:17:00.000-08:00The Pox...ooou...remember that and have a scar to ...The Pox...ooou...remember that and have a scar to help!<BR/>Eric with the "Uppy" arms ans poc face is adorable!<BR/>Bo handsome guy!
