We are surviving the chickenpox but very ready for it to all be over with! Our poor little baby is covered with large red spots. They are in her ears, her mouth, and even her nose! She has been miserable. Monday night we got a total of about 2 1/2 hours of sleep. She just couldn't get comfortable. She actually scratched her ear so much that it bled. Yesterday I talked to her doctor and they called her out a prescription for the itching and to help her sleep. She is doing much better today. She is OK as long as I am close to her. The fever has stayed down so we have been able to keep the helmet on. That is a big answered prayer. As of this morning it looks as though it has finally stopped spreading.
Since this is chickenpox and not a reaction to her helmet we will not have to go to Nashville tomorrow for her follow up visit. We are very happy to cut out one road trip. When they called today to confirm her appointment for tomorrow they asked me if I had noticed any redness during her routine skin checks. I laughed and then told them about her chickenpox. All those times we were having to remove the helmet and check her scalp and face for redness I never thought I would be checking for chickenpox.
Morgan is doing really well wearing her helmet even with her itchy head. She is so laid back and we are SO thankful. Thank you all for your prayers. Hopefully this will all be over soon.
