Might be being paranoid here but just want to be sure - my dad is visiting us tomorrow and his wife has shingles. DS is 8 months old, not had any illnesses (yet) - is he at risk of catching chicken pox?? Shall I tell dad not to come??
By the way, dad's wife not coming, but could my dad bring 'shingles/CP germs' with him? I know this sounds ridiculous but I would hate to put DS at risk.
