Chicken pops

Last week, our 4yr old neighbor announced that her baby brother has 'chicken pops'. Natawa ako then when it sunk in, I got a little worried. Not for Shannen and Vince (meron silang chicken pox vaccine) but for Henry coz he never had it. I heard it could be really bad for adults.

What do we do? Henry and I had a serious thought. We can't keep Shannen away from playing with her friends. Kahit i-explain namin sa kanya (I even showed her photos of severe blisters), hindi nya ma-grasp yung danger non.

Eventually, we resorted to diversion tactic. So the whole week, Henry took the kids 'somewhere' after school. They went to the grocery, KFC, McDonalds, beach, library, picked me up from work, etc. This week ganun ulit ang gagawin nila. Magastos lang but it gives Henry peace of mind.

Te,
na check mo na ba yung option na magpavaccine si hubby? It's not always that he can hide from it... hehehe... :-)

kasi ako, and my kids, got the vaccine in the Philippines. Hindi pa kasi ako nagkaroon nung bata, kaya naghanda na ako bago magpunta ng NZ.

Hi Cindy,

Yun din ang naisip namin. Kaso hindi pwede ngayon kasi kung nahawa na si Henry ng di nya alam, the vaccine would only make it worst. Hintay muna kami na talagang wala ng merong bulutong.
