Ds2 started with chicken pox 2 weeks ago and is fine now. Noticed 2xblistery spots on Ds1 yesterday, no new ones today. Am I doing the right thing keeping him off school??? He is crabby in himself, but tbh that is not unusual as he is ASD.

Probably best to keep him off ,it may be a mild dose.

yep, it's chicken pox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep joy, still its a relief really, we go to Turkey on 29/5 and we were getting worried incase he got it either on holiday or just b4. At least now he should be fine by the time we go.

2 weeks ago?
My Ds got it last weekend so can I expect the younger one to get it this weekend?
my others were 10 days apart I think, which means he should have it now!!

My DS2 caught it first 2 weeks after being exposed, then DS1 about 5 days later.
That was fun!
2 irritable itchy kids who weren't even pretty to look at!
