Elias has the chicken pox

A week after a playdate with a friend, the mom called me and told me one of her kids had the chicken pox, so we should watch our kids.

And yes, sure enough, a week ago, Elias had two bumps on his face. But they looked nothing like the chicken pox, more like mosquito bites.
Then yesterday after school, he suddenly had more red dots, itching like crazy.

So this morning at 7:45 I went to the doctor with Elias (don't you love the hours here in Belgium) but he was just very confused. He thought it were insect bites as well. After much persuasion, he continued looking at every single one dot, until he found one that had a liquid inside, a sure sign of the chicken pox.
The reason why he had such a hard time diagnosing it was because Elias has had a vaccination for it, unheard of here in Belgium.

Here in Belgium most kids get the chicken pox in first kindergarten (age=2.5) when they start school, so Mendel can continue going to school because the chance she is spreading it is very small (since they all have gotten it).
Elias however should just stay home for the rest of this week (instead of the normal 10 days) because he has a mild version (because of the vaccination).
