Chicken Pox

Just before Christmas of 1992, Rachel came down with chicken pox. Her case was very mild; she had just 40 pox. And as infectious diseases go, PJ soon caught it after her in January of 1993, but his case was quite a bit worse he had over 500 pox.

We often put him in the bathtub with oatmeal water to calm the itching. The murky water looked gross, but it helped a lot. One day, during one of these soothing baths, we heard him call, "Mom! I need more dirty water!"
