For those of you not on facebook, you'll have missed today's chicken pox scare! Last night we spotted three small red spots on William's torso, but they weren't really consistent with chicken pox. Then this morning he had a couple more and one of the new ones looked more chicken pox-ish. So off William and I trundled to the GP's to get it checked out. She wasn't sure either though and agreed that one of the spots looked more suspect than the others, so then with Steve in tow too, off we all trundled to the hospital. All sounds a bit dramatic for the pox but due to him being considered immuno-suppressed still we have to be cautious because if it was chicken pox he would need to be given IV immunoglobulin. Thankfully within ten minutes of us getting there a doctor we know and like saw us and said straight away she didn't think it was. Plus he didnt seem unwell, didnt have a temperature and hadnt knowingly been into contact with anyone with it. We then got back home in time for lunch!
He has another new spot now, but the others seem to be fading and the suspiscious one has definitely died down a bit. Who knows what it is! On returning from the hospital, William decided to spend the whole afternoon smiling and laughing. He had a play in the ball pool which he loved. Here's a video of him laughing. I'll upload some ball pool photos later!
