Quarantined
We spent a good chunk of Little L’s birthday week under a bit of a self-imposed quarantine. K had the chickenpox. It’s been going around school so I had a feeling it would be coming our way. I admit it was somewhat welcome. I mean as welcome as something like this can be. I was just looking forward to getting past this particular rite of childhood so that we didn’t have to worry about it in the future.
We are thankful that K had a mild case and was her usual self minus some itchiness here and there. Oat baths and neem oil really seemed to help. I believe I was older than she is when I got them but I had an easy case, too. In fact the only thing I remember about it is that I gave them to my brother (who is about nine years older than me) and he had a pretty rough time. I mentioned my experience to K and every time she wanted to itch a spot I told her to give her uncle a call and he would tell her why she shouldn’t itch them. That little rascal never called him, though.
Now I am just waiting for C and Little L’s chickenpox to appear. It’s inevitable. I was told they appear in two weeks after the initial case just like clockwork. We are soon to find out! I pray that they have as mild of a case as K did.
p.s – Somehow a picture of K’s latest knitting project just seemed absolutely appropriate for this post.
And those tiny flowers you see above? Those are our first sign that spring is near! Little L and I spotted them outside our window the other day. There was much rejoicing!
p.p.s - I really contemplated posting this but in the end I decided go with it and stay true to myself. I am always open and honest (but also vulnerable!) in this space of mine and to skip over this particular event in our lives just wouldn’t feel right. On that note, I do ask that we please refrain from any possible vaccination debates. They would only bring us the exact opposite of love and encouragement. Thank you for understanding!
