We realised on Sunday morning that DD had chicken pox. On Saturday she had 2 red patches and I wasn't sure what they were. By Sunday morning they had developed the obvious blister and more spots appeared over the day.
She has only got about 30 spots in total and has not been very itchy (only really at night) and is otherwise well. Today all the spots look dry / crusted over.
DH is looking after her today and tomorrow and it would be my turn on Friday (when DH goes away for 2 weeks). I am coming down with a cold, so I am wondering if she is likely to be OK to go into nursery on Friday. My concern is that, if I am suffering with a cold and DD is well, she will be climbing the walls with me not feeling like doing much. Also I will be on my own with her over the weekend and would probably do better with a 'day off sick' on my own first.
What do you think? Could she really have got over chicken pox after only 3 or 4 days?
