Chicken Pox advice?

DD has come down with Chicken Pox - poor little bear. Shes absolutely covered in spots from head to toe, she's even got them in her scalp, in her eyes, in her mouth. I actually recoiled in horror when she woke up this morning a little moving human rash. She's being very brave though and is really fairly untroubled by what looks very sore.

I'm sure its because they are still new and I seem to remember the itching get worse later. My mum's been advising me to give her two baths a day then to put calomine lotion on to the sores. She's given me a recipe from her aromatherapist for Chiken Pox of adding 10 drops of lavender oil and 10 of roman chamomile to the calamine lotion to help with the itching and healing process. Has anyone got any other suggestions of what worked for them?

Am hoping she stays cheery I know I was miserable when I had it butthen I was 6 so I was probably much more aware of what it was. DD is only 2.

I felt guilty when she had it as we were offered the varicella vaccine and I'd told them to bog off.
