Chicken Pox update

Even after taking the kids to the pediatrician I still had my doubts about the whole chicken pox diagnosis. First, since it's rare for someone to get it after being vaccinated the fact that all three would get it is pretty unbelievable. Second they seemed to clear up as fast as they got them and chicken pox take a few days before they scab up and then even longer to heal completely. Third, I was talking with Aidan's best friend's mom and she is a pediatrician as well. She agreed with me that it would be rare and that usually siblings don't all break out at the same time. One would get it and then the next week another one would and so forth. She said that it probably is from the hot tub and that you can get folliculitis from it also know as the "Hot Tub Rash." Tim's brother came across this too on the internet and found somewhere that the rash can look similar to chicken pox. But the nastiest thing in all this is that there was probably some bacteria in the hot tub with them.
