Aislinn has chicken pox. She just has a mild case since she had the vaccine. As much as we were against the vaccine, they all got it a couple years ago as we were planning on them getting it if, at a certain point they didn't get the disease, (as it fries testes and renders men infertile) and we figured it was to the point that it would be too difficult for them to actually get the disease and we'd end up having to have them vaccinated when they got older and hadn't had the disease anyway. We figured it was easier to have them have the vaccine as long as we were all there together and they were a bit younger.
Fat lot of good that did! (Well, actually, if they hadn't gotten the vaccine, Aislinn, would probably be in terrible discomfort now and she's not, but can't go to school, of course, until the pustules are crusted over.)
