"I have only 2 spots on my tummy!"
Rey came down with chicken pox on the last Saturday, with 3 red small dots on his belly. So ill-timed, as my mother and aunt are coming over to Singapore on coming Thursday for a week!
Once you are down with chicken pox, for better or worse, you are quarantined for 14-days. No stepping out of the house allowed. No eating out, no school, no playing with friends. None.
Rey was so sad that he could not play with his best friend on that Saturday.
Moreover, he has had no fever or weakness; he feels like as well as any other day, yet big people around him has denied his due right to play with his friends, go to school, or even eat a certain foods. How unfair.
By the 5th day, today, he has developed as few as 10 spots for the entire body.
Most of them are just red spots, with no pus or itchness.
Very lucky boy I would say; especially so when compared to his poor cousin J (actually Rey got his chicken pox most likely from this cousin).
But still, he won't be able to go out till his quarantine is over; by the time, my aunt would also have to go back to Japan. Hopefully, Rey and my aunt will be able to enjoy their time together by playing Nintendo Wii, which she will bring over as a souvenir for Rey! ;-)
