you CAN Misdee, even if you think you can't right now... you're a fantastic Mum, and you've come through so much, and you'll carry on doing it until your DH comes home.
Just remember, don't be afraid to ask for help from people.. family.. friends... no-one will mind!
I have no idea where you live, but if it's near me I would gladly give you a hand!

Thanks

took the 2 youngest to see dh yesterday. dd3 has now come out in what looks like chicken pox but its just her legs that are affected. could be insect bites. am worried if it is infectious then peter was exposed to it.

could it be an allergy? You're bfing right? Could you have eaten something that might have caused this?

Thanks

Don't beat yourself up misdee, you couldn't have known that she would get this rash, be it chicken pox or not.
Maybe just let the hospital know so that they are ready in the (i think) unlikely event that it has infected him.

I am sure it'll all be ok!

Thanks

no ideas really, and can only agree with starlover about Peter and possible infection. Has he had c/pox himself? Is that irrelevant with his condition? How was he last night?

Thanks

yep that's it! It cleared up a bit when I put him in his Minki's for a while

misdee, not to add to your worry, but my dd started with 2 spots where when asked my HV she said it was where her nappy had rubbed (not that i am saying the same is with your cutie dd3) but it turned out to be chicken pox. x

how many weeks is dd now misdee?

i know with my dd, she got chicken pox when she was about 6-8 weeks old, she just started with the 2 spots for a couple of days, but wasnt off colour at all (thats why i was so shocked) the spots were quite red at 1st and only when others started appearing did they fill with fluid, dont know if this is of any help just was thinking about your dd being around the same age as my dd was. xx

misdee · 30/04/2005 21:51

SHE HAS INFECTED ECZEMA!!! didnt think about that\possibility. its where the nappy (damn plastic disposables) has rubbed her legs.

dh cant come home tho, they were going to leg him out but as we didint know what it was they said they'd keep him there. feel a bit bad, but what was i meant to do? all the docs have gone now so he cant even update them to say its just infected ezcema. but he'd have t go back tomorrow or tuesday anyway.
