Aww! The only thing to say is 'You poor little muffin!'.
My DD had shingles when she was 10 or so. Weird, cuz it's usually just an adult thing.
If your kids haven't been immunized, they can get chicken pox from you. Although, from what I know about the immunization, they can get them even if they have. I refused it with my kids.
My best friend didn't get them when she was a child, so she caught them from my DD when she had shingles. Then one of her kids got them too. No biggie for the kids, but she was sick SICK with them.
btw, I was thinking of you on Friday of last week when I was driving up the gorge and got stuck on the freeway, then re-routed through hood river because of that fire. I knew that you and at least one other from BYC were in the area.
My very same DD with the shingles just commented on how much she likes that I start this post by saying "the only thing to say is.... " then continue to say a WHOLE bunch of stuff.
kids.
