As I was about to leave the house to fetch Ian from the childcare, his teacher called me and asked if I were on my way. She said that Ian had small spots on his hands and body.
When I picked up Ian, the teacher showed me where she saw the rashes. We did not think that the rashes were serious, but we had to get a 'certificate of fitness', or whatever you called it, for Ian to return to school. On the way to the clinic, I picked up Hubby from his office.
The folks at the clinic were rather surprised to see us again, within a short span of one or two weeks. When we told the nurse that Ian was suspected to have chicken pox, she took us to the other room to wait for the doctor. The doctor scrutinized the spots on Ian's body and concluded that it was indeed chicken pox, though it was only a mild breakout. We had to thank the one dose of vaccine which Ian had taken previously, or else it could probably be more than a few spots now.
The doctor prescribed a small tube of cream for topical application and said that he would probably get a few more spots. She recommended that we avoided homes which had children and pregnant ladies for this Chinese New Year. And before going back to school, Ian had to get certified again by the doctor.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for Ian!
