OMG hosed

Kira is covered in spots today.

I noticed one or two on her face before GC yesterday. But, when I checked the rest of her body, I found nothing and figured they must be kiddie blemishes. Not so.

Covered. In. Spots.

I'm so very sorry to have exposed folks to this, however unwittingly. Please pass the word? Thanks.

In the meantime, since this is the family's first case of chicken pox (as yet uncomfirmed by the doctor), I'll be figuring out what my Mommy Marching Orders are and trying to arrange to get some Actual Work done while at home.

Hard to say if I'll be online a lot to day or not. :)
Later,
N

When my kids had it, day care required them to be out a minimum of 10 days. This is Teh Suck for working parents (and I don't exactly want to bring my work home, eh?). This was even more fun since the YCP had not only the vaccination but also the actual disease 5 times. Apparently he got just enough immunity from the vaccination to get a couple of spots each time. The last time he got a whopping case so I no longer worry when he's exposed.

Happy, non-itchy vibes for the Little Princess. Hopefully she'll feel better soon.

Yeah, that's the kind of time I was worried about. (sigh) Thankfully, my work is a bit easier to manage at home -- IF she'll let me concentrate on it.

Still, if I can shift gears mentally, it'll be lots easier on both of us. Really...I'm not the one who's sick, you know? And this is much less stressful than worrying over pneumonia. :)

I have a feeling we'll be making a lot of jell-o this week.
