Was concerned today to see a note on the door of nursery saying that a baby under 12 months was being treated for measles. Slightly concerned I wasnt told directly but left to see this notice but that is another matter - I was picking DS up after having DD home with me today.
DD is 8 months old and will obviously have been in close contact with the child. The note says they have taken swabs but wont know for a while.
I have literally come back from mat leave this week but as an academic I dont NEED to be in work at the moment - I can work from home but in reality that will mean being up half the night working but obviously thats not an issue if needs to be done.
What would you do? Firstly I am very worried she may already have it. Should I be very anxious about this or will it most likely be ok even if she has it? Am trying to avoid reading anything about it as obviously things like brain damage crop up.
I am thinking that if she doesnt have it now, others may be infected and could infect her over the next few days. If I can keep her home should I? Am I over reacting? Typically I will still have to pay but again not an issue if it avoids her getting measles.
Any words of advice? I am worried for her
