Chicken Pox Blues!

Talk about wrong timing!

Jedi was supposed to be the page boy and Krisa the flower girl for my cuz wedding on sat 15th November. All went well during the rehearsals until Thurs when Jedi woke up with a sore eye. I thought nothing of it and just gave him some eye ointment. Then when he came back froms chool he started gettinglittle red spots on his back. Brought him to a doc and was suspected to be chicken pox esp if more broke out the next day. True enough by Fri more came out. Dan and I still thought we could let Jedi just do his stint for my cuz wedding as where was the couple gonna find a page boy the day before the wedding?? So discussed with my cuz and the plan was to let him walk then fly home!

But.....around midnight on Fri all the little spots began opening into the blisters and the one near his eye burst!!! *OUCH*!! So we had to call SOS to my cuz and tell him Jedi really couldn't go as all his guests would probably run away upon seeing his spotty face. Felt so so bad! But God is good! The couple managed to find a friend whose three sons had just finished being page boys for a wedding the weekend before so they had three page boys to choose from! Praise the Lord!

To cut the long story short, Krisa was a great sport and let the new 'kor kor' pull her in the wagon down the isle. But poor Jedi had to be confined at home and dan kindly looked after him so Krisa and I could still attend the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and more on that later..

The moral of the story is: Chicken pox vaccines don't always work!!!! BUT the Lord always provides in times of need!
