Chicken pox

A couple of weeks ago, the boys were exposed to the dreaded chicken pox…and lo and behold Jonah caught ‘em!  He did really well and is quite proud of himself for not scratching them.  I had figured that at least one of the boys would get them, so I started to give them two of my herbal remedies – one for boosting their immune systems and one for purifying the skin – the week before Jonah broke out.  I am really pleased with their results!  Jaden didn’t get the chicken pox at all and Jonah had a mild case.  He had a 24 hour period where he cried about pain and itching, but other than that he was fine.  And he only has about 10-15 pox that scabbed over.  So mild – nothing compared to the awful case of pox that I had as a teenager!!  Anyhow, Jaden has likely caught them from his brother and will hopefully break out in a week or so when we’ll go through the whole routine all over again!!
