pox, take 2

Happy 2012!!

Well, I got my wish and just as predicted little Willow succumbed to the pox just after Christmas. She had considerably more spots than Jasmine though I would still consider it a mild case. I don’t think she’s experiencing an itching yet but it’s hard to gauge at this stage.

Jasmine’s has essentially recovered bar a cheeky little late comer on her face. I’m applying a dab of vitamin E oil to each ‘scar’ in the hope that there’ll be no permanent marks.

Generally speaking they both coped very well with it (still a little more to go with Willow). Both have pretty much shaken the nasty cough and the upset stomachs seem to have abated. Appetites have returned for the most part and life has almost returned to normal.

Despite being poxy the Christmas break went very well and we even had them sharing a room for the 1st time with a mixed bag of reactions. The 1st couple of nights were fine, the 3rd was hell on toast but in all honesty I’m putting that down to poxy afflictions.
