Valentine's Day


We spent Valentine's Day at my parents and quarantined inside their house. When we woke up Saturday morning, Madison had what looked like chicken pox, but we weren't sure (especially since she'd already been vaccinated). Our plan that day was to go visit my grandpa in his new nursing home, so we had to know for sure whether Madison had the chicken pox or not because if she did we couldn't take here there and chance getting any of the people sick, so we spent the morning trying to find an urgent care that would look at her (surprisingly, none of them would because she was under the age of 5). We finally found one where the doctor had sympathy on us and decided to go ahead and see her. He confirmed our suspicions, but said that it would probably just be a very mild case since she'd already been vaccinated. He was right (if they were chicken pox at all because they never seemed to cause her any discomfort and they never scabbed or anything), it was a mild case and they were gone in three days. Anyway, because of all that, we had to stay inside for Valentine's Day because we didn't want to go spreading the chicken pox everywhere, but we had fun nonetheless. My parents just a got a Wii, so we played that a little, made chocolate dipped strawberries, had a home cooked dinner, and just hung out and played with Madison.
