Chicken Pox

That is what I said! Jackson was officially diagnosed with the Pox. We have been going back and forth for a month now and questioning if they were bug bites or the pox. If they were bug bites then we would all have them. Jeff and I have both had the pox, so that would probably explain why we don't have any red bumps on our bodies.

The first time I took Jackson to the doctor, I was told that they were just bites. Well, he continued to get more but just a couple at a time and mostly around the leg area. On Sunday a week from last Jackson woke up with these suppose bites all over his body. (My first thought when all this started was Chicken Pox, but you usually trust your doctor.) I wasn't quite sure what to think other then this isn't normal and Jackson and I have been sleeping in the same bed and I don't have them. Well, I called the doctor, again! I pretty much told them the story of our first visit and explained that I wanted to be referred out to a specialist. They told me that I needed to see a doctor and they would determine weather I need to be referred out. I told them I didn't want to see the last doctor we saw cause he didn't know what he was talking about! He even told me he didn't know very much about children. That says a lot.

Off we go to the doctor with Kathy, my mother n law. We see a different doctor and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is Chicken Pox. Yeah! We are finally going some where with this. He couldn't explain why it's gone on for so long, but he was sure it was Chicken pox. He wrote a prescription and told us if Jackson gets a fever to call right away.

Well, Jackson never got a fever this last weekend, but he sure hasn't been himself. It is all making sense now. Needless to say more of the bumps are scabbing over, but he is still getting new ones. Definitely not as bad as last weekend. (Note to self: always go with your first intuition.)

Sorry for the bad picture. I took this with my cell phone and Jackson wouldn't sit still.
