Do we have the pox?

Do we have the pox?

So today will be spent on pox watch with Monkey! One very dubious looking spot and a couple of red marks – do we have the pox?  Will we be spending the rest of half term with chicken pox?

Almost 6 years ago to the day I came down with chicken pox the day after arriving in Spain to visit my parents, after leaving my ex-husband (a long story!). I’d unwittingly caught it from my nephew and then infected an Easyjet flight from Luton to Malaga. Only I could obtain that accolade. I’m so thankful to my parents for playing nursemaids and was so worried for my father, in his late 60’s who had never, and still hasn’t caught the pox.

Would be nice to get it out-of-the-way, Monkey has managed to avoid catching it from his NCT buddies twice already. So we wait and see …… do we have the pox?

I'd love to hear from you and try to reply to all comments
