Feb. 3 Afternoon - Grace SMS Sheila "She, mukhang my bulutong (chicken pox) si Iya". Sheila was very worried and hoped it wasn't. She asked around what are the symptoms of Chicken Pox. Sheila then informed Drix about Iya. Both of them got home early to bring Iya to the Doctor. She has red rashes with water but no fever.
Feb. 3 Evening - GP confirmed it was chicken pox. She gave her anti-itch medicine & calamine lotion. GP washes her hands as she gave them (Drix and Sheila) the information. Sheila think it was impolite that the GP was doing this while they are still in the clinic. Drix & Sheila was not satisfied with the GP's diagnosis and then decided to go to the Pediatrician for a second opinion. The Pedia did confirmed it's chicken pox, but didn't react as the same way GP did. He gave her anti-viral so that it won't get worse. The only good thing about this is that she won't need the chicken pox jab. Iya took the medicine as soon as they got home & every 5 hours within 5 days.
Feb. 4 - Sheila took care of Iya. Chicken pox wasn't that bad, less than 20 dots. Calamine lotion was applied to ease the itch.
Feb. 5 - Drix took care of Iya. Chicken pox was coming out - red dots all around her body. But still mild compare to adult's chicken pox. Good thing she doesn't have fever. She's still playful & drinking her milk like normal days.
Feb. 6 - Drix & Sheila went to work. Grace will take care of Iya. Some of the chicken pox is starting to dry.
Feb. 7 - Iya took a bath with Baking Soda solution. Sheila got this info from forums.
Feb. 8 - Last day of anti-viral medicine. Iya is getting better. The first few dots has dried already.
Feb. 13 - Chicken pox are just scars now.
Feb. 14 - Thank God it's all over now! Iya is well!
