The last few days have been less than notable. The kids continue to heal, we played with a pox friendly family two days to get some of the stir crazy out… and Chanler’s foot blisters look THE SAME!

I got some information for an Osteopath friend who said that as long as the blisters remain on Chanler’s feet he could still be “sluffing” virus (aka contagious). She suggested lancing the blisters – which I have to say sounds about as fun as poking myself in the eye. I could just picture the screaming that would ensue.

After some discussion, Scott and I decided it would actually be easier to lance the blisters ourselves rather than trying to convince Kaiser to do it… We had a conversation with Chanler about the benefits of popping his feet blisters and even let him pick the implement used to do the actual lancing. What really convinced him was the offer to let him watch videos while Daddy worked on his feet!!!!! We managed to get 10 popped blisters and 0 screaming! Not a bad score if you ask me!

Not sure how long it takes after they are popped to officially be not contagious, but we have a birthday party on Saturday so I hope we are ok by then…
