Chicken pox

Looks like that fever over the weekend was actually a little something more. Archer has the chicken pox, as a result of receiving the chicken pox vaccine over a week ago. This is a bit surprising, since he has never had any reaction to his vaccines in the past, not even a fever. And apparently it's pretty rare, 1 in 200 kids break out in a mild case of the chicken pox as a result of the vaccine, and it looks like Archer won that lottery. Our normally easy going baby is now cranky, fussy and more tried. But he's still got his appetite! We were planning on going to the pumpkin patch this weekend, but I think we'll lay low and let Archer chill, like he is with his grandfather in the above picture.

  1. Awwww! But at least once it passes, it will be done...may be better to get it out of the way like this.

    Bill, did you ever confirm you had it? I'm pretty sure all four of us had it at once. And what about Caroline?

  2. Ken set me up to post a comment. Hope this works. Give Archer a big hug from his Aunt Chris.

  3. Oh no! But I agree it's better to get it out of the way early! Feel better soon, Archer!
