Chicken Pox

Oh what a week we have had. Monday after school Jakob showed me some bumps on his forehead. I thought they were pimples. Steve said those look like chicken pox to me. I really didn't think so until that night when he showed me all the bumps he had on his back. Then I thought maybe they could be chicken pox. I took him into the doctor the next morning just to make sure. He wasn't any help. He said they looked like chicken pox but since he hadn't had any other symptoms then he wasn't sure. So off to the hospital to have blood drawn for some lab work to be sure. Two days go by we hadn't heard back from the doctor so I call to find out what the results were. I had to leave a message, they called back 6 hours later and talked to Steve (since I was at work) told him that it's not chicken pox because Jakob is immune. So then I had more questions and called to leave another message and told them not to call until I was home. They didn't listen. They called and talked to Steve again. This time saying it is chicken pox. What, are they stupid. I didn't get it. Oh well. Then later that night I went down to check on Jakob. He was in his bed crying because he had a terrible stomach ache. I thought maybe it was his medicine they had him taking. So again I called the doctors office to see if that's what it could be. They call back to ask what the medication is. I told the nurse and she said she needed to check with a doctor and that she would get back with me. Well guess what she did not call me back. Surprise, surprise. I just quit giving Jakob the medicine and after he thew up he was just fine. We'll now that the week is over all is well. I hope it is a long time before I have to take my kids to see another doctor. I'm thinking they are not all that they are cracked up to be. Here are a few shots of his pox. He really didn't have them too bad, I wasn't ever really worried about him I just wanted to be sure of what he had.
