Yech, what a nightmare, especially since Evan will be non-contageous within 
just a few days, when the scabs heal over.  Of course the irony is that the 
poor boy's been contageous for a few weeks already.  What a nightmare for 
your and your family, Mike...though I must admit to having a giggle at 
thought of your Mississippi relatives being inconvenienced.  I should be 
sympathetic, though, as several of my relatives are oh-so-clever at 
inventing reasons to stay longer than originally planned.  But a *genuine* 
reason like Evan's was never proposed!

Meanwhile, vent all you want; that's what we're here for :)  Best wishes to 
you all.
