Magnus came down with the chickenpox first. Day 2 and 3 were the worst where he was pretty miserable and needed oatmeal baths in the middle of the night. It was crazy how quickly the spots came up and then they just kept on coming. He was covered from top to toe with an estimated 500 spots! I was picking the scabs out of his hair for the next couple of weeks, I’m sure he had about 100 scabs on his scalp alone. By day 8 he was able to get back into normal life again, but we were still in isolation waiting for Bronson to get them.
Two weeks after Magnus’ had cleared Bronson got the chickenpox. I think he got them worse than Magnus, with a huge cluster of spots around his bottom. The poor guy was itchy as! He also had a couple of miserable days and then wa quickly over it. The worst part was having about a month in isolation where we couldn’t go to playgroups, creche and music etc.
But all in all it wasn’t so bad and we are glad to have the Chickenpox over and done with!
