Hmm...Chicken pox.
Yesterday Tea starts coming out in a few red spots. This morning they are rampant, and quite nasty looking bulbous liquid filled blisters.
He's taking it well though, apart from the medicine that is.
His dad and I have had terrible trouble persuading him to let any of the minty anti-inflamortary stuff pass his lips. All incentives to get him to swallow just a spoonful fail, miserably.
So we bought a special syringe for the job, but this still involved a certain amount of pining him down, frantic squirting, followed by the whole lot being quickly and efficiently spat out. Well traumatic. But what can you do?
Poor little thing. Stubborn little thing. I hope this will be the worst day...
