Chicken Pox....or Something Else?






You tell me...

Can't get doctors to agree...one says folliculitis and the other says chicken pox.  All I really know is that Jace is one itchy little boy.  He is scratching all day, poor thing.  It started out on his back by the top of his pull-up.  I really thought it was bug bites; flea, bed bugs--who knows.  Then it traveled up the back to his chest.  From there to his neck and hair line.  He even had a blister on his tongue.  Now he is covered pretty much all over but it still seems mild to me-there aren't any other 'blisters' but they do scab over.  I am keeping him home just in case it is chicken pox and I am treating it likewise.

We are proceeding with the cochlear implant planning, but not sure where just yet because of insurance reasons.  I will keep you posted on the process.  We meet again with Hopkins for hearing aid testing (waste of time yet required by law), audio skills and speech next Tuesday.  Looking forward to it!!

Jace is so cute!
A friend of mine is having the same issue with her daughter. She went to a dermatologist and they said it was a skin condition that is common in children . She has to put a cortisone cream on it. And of course I can not remember the name of the condition!All I know is it blisters and then scabs over and itches like crazy!
I will get the name (just in case this is not CP!) and send it to you!
Hope he starts to get some relief soon!
