Christmas tree and No Pox

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

So it turns out not to have been chicken pox after all. In fact, the GP didn’t know what it was that Ollie has. Still, it doesn’t seem to bother him much, so I’m not too worried. I’ll post a picture of his spots when I get a better photo of them.
