Varicelle "chicken pox"

Well it has been a fun couple of weeks for Mathieu and his parents. 2 weeks ago he had a cold and following that he came down with the chicken pox. To start, a little background. His Nanny has 3 kids. 1 two year old, 1 ten month old and Mathieu. Well, the 2 year old had chicken pox in which the Nanny conveniently forgot to tell us about. Val found out when the 2 year came up to her and said “boutons, boutons”, which means zits or in this case chicken pox. Anyway 2 weeks later Mathieu and the 10 month year old came down with it. Overall, it didn’t affect Mathieu too much. He still has a lot of bumps but he didn’t really seem to suffer too much other than being a bit lethargic. I saw the other kid yesterday and she looked liked hell. Her face was covered. Her mother said she had had a fever for 3 days and wasn’t sleeping. I guess Mathieu got lucky and got Val’s immune system and not mine. She never gets sick. I will post a pic as soon as I get a chance.
