I'm pretty sure it is CP. I found three spots together at the base of his neck underneath his sling last night. They don't look like heat rash, they are raised and glassy-looking. I thought they might be insect bites but today I've found a cluster of about 15 around his bum cleavage, and one further out on his bum cheek. DS says they're really itchy.
He was sent home from school yesterday because he came over hot and feeling sick. He's been coughing with a snotty nose with not much appetite and now he's quite hot too.
It's the pox isn't it?
I know there's never a good time to be poorly but it couldn't get much worse than right now. DS is supposed to be having surgery next week to remove the wires from his elbow. That's not going to happen for another week at least now is it? So, he'll be poorly, in quarantine from all his friends and in a cast for the whole Easter holidays.
