Chickenpox

[jetadore]

We're on holiday in Spain. Arrived yesterday. Today discovered ds has started breaking out in what I'm almost certain are chickenpox. We're due to fly back on Friday, it won't have run its course by then, will it? What do?

How is your son op?

Thanks minmooch. He's got a nice covering of spots now, a lot of them have scabbed over. I think there's fewer new ones coming through now but it's hard to tell. He still has a temperature and is feeling out of sorts.
We saw a doctor, who took one look at him and confirmed it was chickenpox, but understandably couldn't say if he would be OK to fly on Friday or not, which we've passed on to the insurance company. They are useless and haven't got back to us since.
The consensus seems to be once all the spots are scabbed over you're no longer contagious. If he''s scabbed over by Friday we'll go back for a fit to fly from the doctor. The issue could be easyJet's policy of "7 days after last new spot" . To be honest if he's got the fit to fly I'll cover him up to get on the plane if necessary.
