hello everyone
dd has chicken pox at the moment. today is her third day (i.e. third day since spots erupted). she still has only about 15 spots in total and of these only a handful are nasties. she isn't even particularly sick. if she has a temperature it is only mildly elevated, and she is basically good humoured. she is still eating well, and her sleep hasn't been disturbed. she is 10m old.
when ds had it at the same age, by this stage his whole body was covered head to toe with hundreds of nasty looking pustules, he was really sick and miserable and didn't sleep much at all.
can chicken pox really be as mild as it seems to be for dd?
