Julia Update

Via both my sister Suzanne and the doctor (who I emailed the photos to), and my remembrance of chicken pox being raised bumps (which these are not), we have more or less confirmed that these are more than likely bites from a little bug called a "no see um." Of course, the doctor said to pay close attention to make sure that nothing further develops and recommended hydrocortisone cream to help relieve the itching. I didn't really think that it was chicken pox seeing as she has been vaccinated against them (not that the vaccine is a 100 % guarantee but it sure makes it unlikely).
