I'm so excited! I went to Wal-Mart to get some oatmeal bath (my son came home with Chicken Pox, ugh) and while I was there, I got a Tae Bo video! I figure I can do this while he rests. Poor little guy. He was sick last week, but seemed to improve. He finally broke out today. I know Rhonda and Lisa will be proud of my purchase though! Any mom tips on Chicken Pox? I got the oatmeal anti-itch cream and the bath, both Aveeno. I also got him some gatorade to keep the fluids in him.

tell your little one I hope he gets to feeling better. Welcome to the world of Tae Bo. I hope you have as much fun as I do with it. As far as exercise equipment goes I vote for the elliptical. It burns more calories. sharla

Yeah!! Another convert! Let me know what you think of it Theresa.

Can't really help you with the chicken pox though. My last encounter with them was when I had them at the age of six.

I do hope the little guy doesn't suffer too much!

Cheers

Calimine lotion and benedryl pills is what I used for my kids and it helps. If you can get calidryl that is calimine and benedryl together. If you get Calidryl don't use benedryl cause you will be double dosing your son, (not good). Good luck. :-)Stephanie

Thanks ladies for all the support. Ryan is doing great! He is a sleepy little guy, but not too itchy yet! I keep making him put on the aveeno anti-itch cream. I'll give him another oatmeal bath tonight. I'll keep you updated! Thank God I saved up some sick days! lol
