Varisella-zoster

The last two weeks have been especially fun. . . Maiki has had SO much mucus!!! Last Thursday she was bad enough that we took her to the doctor. We found out she has varisella-zoster. For those of you that aren't doctors that's the fancy way of saying CHICKENPOX! (I don't know if it's one word or two; most websites write it as one.)

Maiki is current on her vaccinations, so she only had a mild case. She had less than 10 pox total, and never acted like they itched. She is such a little trooper; she doesn't complain about a thing. We knew she was sick because she had a fever, a few tiny red spots, boogers, and wanted mommy more than normal.
