I just found out yesterday that a friend of DD has chicken pox- her spots appeared Tuesday, and they played together on Friday & Sunday. They played for a long time on Fri, lots of physical contact (squabbling!) but only for around half an hour on Sunday.
So there is a good chance DD has picked it up but is still incubating & not contagious yet. Is it ok to take her out today just to stock up on food, etc, but keep her away from other children? From when should I start keeping her indoors? As things stand I may not know for days if she is infected yet - we are going to be bored stiff if we have to stay in waiting to see what happens!
