Now, ZD got chicken pox too! Good, I should say, it’s better for them to get it while they are young and small. I first spotted some blisters on Saturday 23/08/08 morning when I showered him. Quickly, I got hubby to bring him to clinic to confirm that it is indeed chicken pox. True enough, it is chicken pox!
I told hubby that he should buy a packet of coconut water for his son as coconut water is cooling, according to my MIL. The coconut must also not contain coconut flesh as those with flesh are not so cooling. So, one must only choose a coconut without flesh. Don’t worry, its easy for those who sell them to know as you just need to tell them that your kid had chicken pox.
I notice that both ZM and ZD do not have many blisters all over their body. Probably it’s due to the fact that both had already been jab at the age of 1 years old. Compared to their cousins who are also having chicken pox now, my kids really do have lesser blisters and the blisters are smaller in size. ZD has approximately only 10 blisters on his entire body. ZM also recover faster and the blisters also dry up faster.
I do encourage all mothers to get the jabs for their babies. Chicken pox is really contagious but harmless. With the jab, your kids recover faster too.
