Chickenpox!

[tvfriend]

Quick question!
If you have had one dc who had chickenpox and another one who got it at roughly the same time, how long between the first one getting spots and the next one getting spots??
DS got spots on Friday. Hoping dd won't succumb before all her jubilee parties!
Also- am i meant to keep Dd off school just in case she is contagious? Surely not as she might not even get it?

DS1 got spots 2 weeks after DS2 did. I wouldn't keep her off school as she won't be contagious until just before she gets the spots and how will you know when/if she gets it.

DD just went down with it 13 days after DS started. Incubation is 10-21 days so right on target. Bit surprised though as they both played with the child DS caught them from!

Thanks!
Looks like if DD gets it she'll be OK for the Jubilee parties and then get it over half term which is OK!
