"Once someone has had a chickenpox infection, he or she almost always develops a lifelong immunity, meaning they usually do not get chickenpox twice"

The statement above is not true. I (Emily) do not fall into the "usually" category in this case I would, yes, fall into the "rarely" category. I have the chicken pox for the second time in my life. How did I get it? I don't know, probably from one of those little angels I teach, with whom I simply can't be angry. So I have been in my apartment (with the exception of 3 doctor appointments) for a week from tomorrow. The five-hundred square feet (or whatever it is) is feeling smaller than ever. So what does this "rare" case of chicken pox look like? I took a picture at the very beginning. I'm too embarrassed to take a picture now. Just imagine the following dots (on my back, stomach, face and scalp) full of puss and blood.

I do want to thank everyone who has called, texted, visited and prayed for me. I should be back to normal soon (I hope!) What a life! Meanwhile, Brian is doing super well. I literally pray that he does not get infected. He too has had the chicken pox. We'll hope that he falls into the "usually" category. He's preparing to take the GMAT in less than a month. He's scoring well on his practice GMATs and making progress. I am amazed at his energy to do everything: school, work, bishopric (a leadership position in a local LDS church), GMAT practice course and care for his high-maintenance chicken pocked wife. Let's just say he is phenomenal. So that's us in a nutshell. We send our love to all!
