Day Three of Chicken Pox

Ethan woke a few times because he was really itchy but it looks like this is starting to slow down. I don't think I see any new ones that popped up through the night.  He says his throat bothers him though.  No sign on Abigail yet and it is pretty likely that we will have to wait a few weeks before they show up on her. 

There's lots on my head that you can't see.....
Overall, not so bad though....!

I have had a hard time sleeping again, mostly because I am feeling so anxious about Rachel and this whole chicken pox thing.  I so wish I had immunized the kids now and I know there's no point even thinking about it because it is too late, but I still think and worry and waste time on regret.  Good news though! Dave's mom and sister (and her little boy) are coming out to help us this week!! They are leaving tomorrow morning from Manitoba.  Yay!


I'm thinking of my brother Kelsey alot this morning.  He has corrective dental surgery at 11:40am that we are all concerned about.  He had some wisdom teeth extracted in Mexico recently, as well as some other things done (it was way cheaper than having all this done here) and it turns out that they weren't able to close the holes properly and the jaw is sticking out on both sides.  So now the dentist here has to file away both sides and then attempt to cover it.  The specialist here says he has never seen such a bad case and there are risks of nerve damage to his tongue (1 in 15 chance of his whole tongue losing feeling!) God, give courage and peace.  God, I ask for protection too. Help this dentist to correct this problem without causing others. 

(Sun morning) update on Kelsey - the Dentist said the surgery went very well!! Yay! He told him to take lots of drugs and watch Rambo movies.  Kelsey says it doesn't feel too badly though.  And he has a good friend to help him through it;)
