what is the liklihood of us being able to go on holiday this Saturday? He had a spot on Saturday (which I thought was just a heat spot) and another yesterday ... and apparently 4 more today. We are meant to be going to Herefordshire for a week on Saturday with my elderly parents - are we best to cancel rather than run the risk of infecting them and generally being still in quarantine? Also, is he likely to start feeling poorly now that the spots are coming out or is that yet to come (or could we by some miracle have got away with him being whingey but not feverish)? He was grumpy and not himself on Friday and Saturday but not ill as such. I have sent dp to the chemist for calamine lotion which a friend advised we don't use until all the spots are out as she thinks it delays them ... that can't be right though surely?
