[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398845, member: 1233"] What a relief!!! Chicken pox can be really dangerous to a teen or adult. At some point it might be helpful to have difficult child's blood checked for antibodies to chicken pox, even though he wasn't exposed this time. The older you get the more dangerous it becomes. If he has had the vaccine he should test positive for the antibodies, but if he tests negative he may need a booster shot of the vaccine. That is how our docs have explained it. I have had chicken pox twice and have no immunity to it - ontoher oddity of mine. It meant we had to be really really careful with the kids when they were vaccinated and during any exposure before they were vaccinated. I hope you get the spot on the 11th. The sooner this is taken care of the better. WHile I hope it is not complicated and causes NO long term problems for difficult child, I also hope it is sufficiently uncomfortable and embarrassing that he learns to not EVER do something like this again. (((((hugs))))) NO mom should have to navigate this! [/QUOTE]
