Chicken Pox!

Yes, Bella has chicken pox! It is a very light case because she did receive the vaccination in March.
I had been struggling for about a week since the spots appeared with whether or not I should take her in to the doctor. This is my constant struggle. I don't want to be running to the dr for every little thing. On the other hand, it always turns out it was something I should have brought her in for. With chicken pox, I would have just been aware that she was contagious, there is of course nothing you can do about them. So now Bella has had the measles and chicken pox. Mike said he sure hopes it's not rubella that is next!

Can you tell me what you ended up doing for vaccinations? Did you separate them and also get them when Bella was older? Jason and I are researching this and it's so confusing. I was trying to remember what you had done because I think I remember you blogging on it - didn't Bella have a tough time with one of the shots?
Just curious - we are trying to figure out what we are doing. Right now we are thinking that Brady will still get them all, just at an older age and one at a time. Also we are unclear on the mercury thing, if the shots have mercury or not! Any light on the subject?

Sorry, this is waaaaay off topic to your blog :)
