An Eventful Weekend

Adrian went off on a boys weekend bike riding this weekend, although he nearly didn't make it. He spent a couple of hours fixing the front brake on his bike. We thought he wasn't going anywhere at one stage. Glad he got it working though because I didn't want him hanging around the house like a bear with a sore head if he couldn't go riding. Mel Fox came over to scrap with me on Saturday. We had the whole day planned for the kids to play and we'd scrap all day. OMG, we were lucky to even get 1 page done, always stopping to break up fights between Bailey and Deegan for not 'sharing', and then Darren rang. He'd been vomiting all day and wanted Mel to go up to where the boys were and pick him up. So there goes our scrapping together. Oh well, better luck next time. I continued however, into the wee hours of the morning (3am) while chatting online with my forum buddies.

That night however, before putting Micayla into bed, we discovered some spots on her back. Now there has been chicken pox going around her class and it seemed the only kids picking it up were those that had been vaccinated. We were supposed to go to Nathan Graham's birthday party on the Sunday afternoon. After chatting on Nocturnal Natters on the SM Forum, the girls there said what I'd described sounded a lot like chicken pox. So I took her to the doctors Sunday morning just to make sure and it's just as well I just didn't assume she had cp and keep her home from the party and school for no reason. Turns out the spots are Mollescum (something like that anyway), which is in the family of the wart virus (I think) and need to be left alone and will go away on their own anywhere between 2 months to 2 years. They are however very contagious if touched. Not a problem to anyone else, as long as you don't touch them, but if Micayla scratches them and then scratches another part of her body, say the neck she will cause a trail of these spots from one site to the next site where she scratched. I'm pretty sure she has an understanding of this and doesn't scratch them. Actually, now she is affraid to scratch any part of her body. They are not itchy though unless aggrevated. Hopefully they won't cause much problem for her and us. At least she got to go to the party. She was happy about that. After all she does love Nathan. She says she's going to marry him. That is when she's not going to marry Mitchell, the brother. She can't make up her mind.
