Baby Ashley has the Chicken POX!!!

PoOr Baby Ashley was diagnosed with Chicken pOx. At 11 months old, we are only 1 month away from her Chicken Pox vaccination. I suspected she has chicken pox when I spotted red rashes all over the back of her neck and the rashes seemed to be filled with water.

Luckily, she did not have the fever or flu which usually comes with the chicken pox and her eczema was under control during this time. We were worried sick during this time because with her eczema, she may scratch and this may lead to skin infections which will become very serious.We made sure she was kept cool at all times and had frequent baths.

The following article made it even more worrying and we had to make sure she does not scratch any of her chicken pox.
