The pox!

Matt's got it. Minimal treatment. I went and got the shot, yes, post-exposure, but better than nothing. We'll be taking Sarah for it tonight. He's ok so far, and understands very well about not scratching. Hope he can keep it up. He'll have to miss Dad's and Nicole's baptism this Saturday, and his school sports day that same day, basically quarantined for two weeks or until the scabs are fully crusted/fallen off.

UPDATE Thu 12 May 2005: I brought Sarah and our helper for their jabs last night. Sarah didn't complain at all at the doctor's, in fact she immediately climbed up on the examining table, pulled up her shirt to expose her belly and lay there waiting for the doctor. Not a peep from her when the dose was administered. But she cried like mad at home when we removed the little plaster before her bath! Goodness. Anyway, now it's fingers crossed the vaccine works on all of us.
