We had a nice little party with Grandpa Jack and Grandma Dayle at our house for Maya's actual birthday last night. The main family/friends B-day is still on hold pending complete freedom from the Chicken Pox virus at our house.Despite the unlikeliness of anybody getting Chicken Pox nowadays with the immunizations that kids have been getting since 1996, it seems that Victoria's brother, Ryan, who has been living with us, has developed a mild case of Chicken Pox as well, thus confirming that Maya did indeed have it. Researching the incubation period, it seems to be around two weeks. This interestingly puts the start of Maya's symptoms about two weeks after our return from Walt Disney World. Isn't airplane travel fun? A new surprise every time!
Ryan did have the pox as a young 'un, and thus his current case is mild with just some minor itching. We are waiting for his case to "crust over" or turn dark enough red and with no indication of new marks or itchiness before rescheduling the family/friends party for Brianna and Maya. What an extended birthday season this is turning out to be!
