That is good news! As to the itching, when my kids had chickenpox, I set the hair blow dryer on cool and aimed it at the itching. It seemed to help a bit. If you can get to any of the itchy bits, a little dab of witch hazel on a cotton ball will help relieve it to.

If you don't mind spending a little bit of money, there are some incredible products available at www.amerigel.com which relieve itching and greatly speed the healing process. From past experience, I can attest to it being worth every penny.

Anyway, good for you and thanks for letting us know,
