Following the chicken pox thread it seemed to include alot of eye rolling when people mention having a weak immune system or similar like were asking way to much for people to keep their otherwise healthy children "locked up" for 5 days instead of having to lock ours away for life.
The one question always appears
What do you regarding most infectious illness's being contagious before being apparents ? "
We can not stop everything, we can not protect them from every viral/ infection out there which is sadly something we fear every single day of our lives.
My DD 3 has fought sepsis 6 times leaving at times critical to the point I held her lifeless in my arms and thought it was defintly the time I was going to have to say good bye.
Every spiked fever brings the ulitimate fear and straight to hospital for treatment.
We can not prevent things we do not know are around, we can not look them up in 4 walls forever.
We know that some illness is going to be un noticable.
However we lower the risks when we can and we appreciate when the public also help.
So do not question or eye roll as by asking for isolation for 5 days is nothing to locking one up for months and months on ene which at times is unfortuntly reality.
They have constant blood work and if their neutrophils are below a certain point you can not take them anywhere.
To enjoy the park, cinema ...we have never ever made a bonfire night , trick or treating and managed one trip to the beach in 3 years.
It is hard but worth it.
