Molluscum Contagiosum

[overlyworked]

To All Parents:

 If it's not bad enough everyone is worried about swine flu here is a virus kids 2 -12 catch and can affect adults.

Why am i bring this to everyones attention you ask.. Well because before 2 nights ago i never heard of this virus. I guess from what the doctors are saying it's becoming more popular in viruses kids are getting. It's part of the pox virus family. It is not some thing anyone will die from but it is some thing that is highly contagios hint the title.

Myles just looked like he had a rash on his arms and legs. And it looked like goose bumps when you are really cold. So i didn't worry to much about it. With in the week it started to spread more so on his arms and legs. So 2 nights ago he feel and hit his eye hard and so while i was at the hospital i went ahead and told them about this rash he has had... Well , he then told me what it was. I was so upset i came home and looked it up on the internet whitch upset me more and i called ask a nurse .. She calmed me down... This virus there is no medication for it.. One because it is a virus like any other virus you have to let it run it's course... He could of picked it up anywhere and since he has a weak immune system he got it... so now we wait it out. and keep him basically away from people as much as possible and he has to be fully clothed. and I have to watch him for scratching.

But to all mothers read up on it and be prepared if it would happen to be your child you won't be so upset over a virus you have never heard of....

This virus he can have it for 3 months to 18 months and some times longer...

Thanks for listening everyone..
