Goodbye Chicken Pox!


Over the past month our two girls experienced bouts of chicken pox; we elected not to give the girls vaccinations for the pox but allow them time to get it on their own and ensure life-long immunity. We are glad they both got the pox at a young age; in fact, young enough that they both may not even remember it.

Luke was vaccinated at his first birthday and ended up not getting it; he did well encouraging his sisters and hanging in there with our house bound routine. We were particularly thankful that the timing of the pox came when we had several out of town family visitors in our home; Aunt Erlina and Grandma and Grandpa Bowers were here for seperate visits during our pox outbreaks.

Okay that is too funny! I know we didn't give it to you because we are soooo far away but that's funny that Kaylee and Benny had them too the last couple of weeks. I didn't know what it was at first but then after more kept coming I knew. See the blog for more details. How are they doing? Is it hard to keep them from itching?
Praying for them!
