Josh and Varicella / Chicken pox

For the last week of school, Josh stayed at home.

On Thursday, After watch Dino movie, we went home and he quickly fall asleep.
On Friday, I bring him and mom to mall, but during our walk, he look tired all the time. At that moment, I guess he get bored while accompany my mom taking look around.
Back at home, he take a nap.
At night, when I hug him, I saw two red dot on his forehead, I still guess that because mosquito bite him, as he sleep on sofa in the morning.
On Saturday, there some red dot but not much. We still bring him to Piano lesson and also watch concert and he still be able to do it.
We have prepared for Sunday - Josh will get baptized.
But at night, when I check his body, two red dot turn into blister. Can't think any other than virus infection, and positive get a chickenpox - Varicella.

Now, some people will question where he got the virus infection?
For me and Daddy, it's could happen anytime, anywhere.
I forgot the Varicella vaccination, but I heard, it's hard to get in the last one year.

What to do?
During illness, Josh always loss his appetite, and that's really challenging us to keep the nutrition intake.
Eat warm porridge, Drink plenty of water, juice to prevent dehydration.
We have medicine in hand like paracetamol, re-hydration drink (Oralit), antacid (Polysilane), all in case for first aid if happen in middle of night.
Josh throw up, and easily get stomach upset. Need to feed him little bite, and as a support for the first time I gave him multivitamin syrup.
For the skin, we brought calamine lotion to sooth the skin. Then according to pho-pho, shall avoid some food like, shrimp, egg which could cause the itchiness more.

On Tuesday, the red dot stop appears. But his appetite worsen. Josh complain about his stomach, but then He could eat and act normally if I let him play the game. Therefore I still observe what actually happen.
On Wednesday, at night the first time I saw Josh feel very hurt at his stomach area.
On Thursday morning, we went to doctor and took a blood test.
His braveness proven, he's not crying at all, when nurse stick the needle into his arm, not only one but twice cause we need more blood.
Result he also got infection, no wonder his stomach get hurt.
Doctor gave recipe of antibiotic and medicine to help control the gas.

On Friday, everything back to normal, he could eat well, run, dancing, teasing us, talk a lot, laugh,
Our Josh is back.
We felt glad and relieve.

After all, his never stop talking as he have fasting for too long.

Thanks God for Josh.
