Best of luck to you - and your boy.

I was without power for 3 days last summer here in Oz when bushfires knocked out power infrastructure. Really makes you appreciate it when it's back up again.

Take good care of the kid, kiddie fevers can turn pretty nasty like it did for mine a couple of years ago, she's okay now, but it was a real scary time

Usually dude pox at that age is OK...so long as the temp stays lower than 106 he should be fine. Sometime conplications arise in the late stages of infection and especially as hes so young. Make sure the Doc is around to check him out if he gets any worse.

I hope he feels better an that everything turns out OK. Have alook at the link below for a bit of sound advice. Especially the baths.
