When I was born my older sister got the chicken pox when I was about a week old. Then my older brother got them, then I got them. Even though I was being nursed and my Mom had chicken pox when she was a child. My case was really mild. As in I had maybe 3 poxes on me. When I got baptized and the priest lifted up the gown to make the sign of the cross on my heart, there was a lovely pox. Then when I got to college there was an outbreak of chicken pox. I had to have a blood test to see if the my episode as a newborn was enough to keep from getting these again. It was, so I got to avoid the shot. But I did get Whooping Cough. Since they had stopped giving babies the vaccine when I was born. But in college, germs and viruses are everywhere!!!!
