Sigh... Kivi has chickenpox. She was vaccinated around her first
birthday for varicella, but she, and at least one other child (also
vaccinated) at her daycare have chickenpox.
#1's just had chickenpox. (age 3.5yrs). She's never been vaccinated (don't
do it here) but had it lightly. She was slightly more weepy than usual...
ate like a horse and full of beans! Not even a slight fever. Well, our dr.
gives "rhus tox"- a homeopathic stuff that stops the spots developing. She
had 130 (yes, we counted) red flat spots of which about 30 actually came to
anything. 5 days after the spots came out they were all crusted over and was
out of quarantine. Today-1 week later she's hardly even got signs of the
spots.

She did make me laugh though. One day 3 of chickenpox, I had t go to the
shops and she didn't want me to. Then she said that she wanted a present, I
asked what would help and she said "I think chocolate's good for little
girls with chickenpox" I said okay I'd get some buttons, then just before I
went she stopped me and said "I don't know whether chocolate's good for
chickenpox-I think I better have some from the cupboard before you go to
check!"
