I hope so! (actually that sounds terrible for me to say, doesn’t it?)
They did a culture and S should hear back by Monday latest. Not good if it’s some kind of infectious thing, since he feels just fine and is going to class, etc.

He did have chicken pox as a youngster- he was in the pre-vax generation, it just came out after he caught the pox. Those were the days when we moms would go around and intentionally infect our wee ones when the neighborhood playgroup kid came down with CP. Everyone wanted to get it “done” sooner rather than later.

Thanks everyone for making me feel a little better. All this MRSA stuff and other skin ailments has got me itching all over.
