I received a phone call from Grammy Pam the morning of Tuesday, July 8th, informing me that Kristian had a couple of bumps (pimple looking) on her bottom before she went to bed the night before and now she has more on her bottom, one on her tummy and one on her leg. I immediately called her doctors office because there had been a little boy at daycare that had chicken pox back around June 9th. When we found out about the little boy at daycare I called her doctors office and was told that the incubation period for chicken pox is 2 weeks, well I guess Kristian proved them wrong. I met my mother-in-law at the doctors office @ 1:15 p.m. We were a little shocked that they weren't treating Kristian as a highly contagious patient. We waited in the waiting room, then was called back to a room. When the doctor looked at the bumps she said she was 95% sure Kristian had chicken pox. She described the bumps as "dew drop on a rose petal." She asked me if Kristian had her vaccine for chicken pox (varicella) and I told her yes. We were asking Kristian is she was itchy, sick, etc. and she answered no to all the questions. The only symptoms Kristian has was the bumps. She didn't even itch.....praise the Lord!! The doctor suggestion Kristian stay home until the bumps were completely gone. Kristian loved that because her and I stayed home the rest of Tuesday and all of Wednesday, then she was off to Grammy & Papa's until Friday :)

one on her tummy
All in all Kristian was a great sport. She never once complained about not feeling well.

Hi..great information.I search health related blog.Then i find your blog.Its very helpful information.
Hi,nice to met you.I like your blog.Because it is very informative.
Thanks! My little one has a few bumps that started on her back & I thought they were bug bites. Then they spread, so I thought maybe we had gotten fleas somehow. We called an exterminator & she just kept getting new ones. A neighbor said she was positive it was chicken pox. I took her to the Dr today & they said she didn't have enough spots for it to be cicken pox. "I don't know what it is." Were his EXACT words. I hope its nothing too serious. If it doesn't go away in 2wks...I suppose we'll head to the ER...
Thanks so much for this post! I know everybody is thanking you, but honestly I have been beside myself wondering if my 6 year old has chicken pox or not. She has a few bumps, they are actually pretty small, and they don't itch and no sickness. Chicken pox has been around where we have been, although the person that had them thought they were not contagious anymore...I think maybe there was an uncrusted bump somewhere..hehe We prayed for my Aaris as soon as I saw two of them on her cheek. She never had the vaccine so I suppose prayer is what worked for her! ;) Thanks for confirming, to me, that what she has is chicken pox! Thanks once again!
remedy good..
