How long can chicken pox possibly go on for??????

My poor child. She thinks these spots "are gonna be on me forever" and it seems like she just gets over the fever and then it's back again. Her brother keeps asking me why he can't have the spots. My husband is worried his baby may have long term affects from these pox and I am just exhausted. God has seen me through almost another week. Off Wednesday and today to be with my child - back to work tomorrow. I have decided to give up on Thursday night bible study all together because I've missed so much already and I just can never find a way to make it to the classes. I miss it though. The kids and I missed church last week and will again this Sunday as Ceilidh is still contagious and Noah may be. Oh bother. Well here's hoping Noah and Brad won't get them and then maybe I can take in a service! Man I'm sucky and whiny huh? Sorry. I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself and how selfish is that - just look at her face!!! Well I guess I better go check on her. I pray she can at least sleep through the night tonight - for her sake as well as ours. Heck, even Chrissy is sick!!! M.
