He's got it bad



Poor Adam was hit hard by the chicken pox. Judging by the amount of vitamin E capsules I'm using, he has twice as many pox as Alex had, including some in his mouth. And he's not being particularly stoic about it either. I brought him to my acupuncturist's yesterday and while he was very brave about getting the needles, he had a hard time lying still for 20 minutes while being so itchy. I really have no idea if the acupuncture helps with the symptoms, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something. He seems to be scabbing over now so hopefully he's reaching the end of the really uncomfortable stage. I'm planning on him feeling better by Friday and then non-contagious by Monday. I can't wait to get out of the house, spending the first week of summer vacation cooped up is no fun. Mostly the kids have watched a lot of movies and played video games, anything else and Adam is whiny and the kids are fighting.

Poor poor Adam. As soon as he is pox-free, come swim at our pool!
