Audrey's got them! She has been imunized but it is text book chicken pox. Low grade fever then spots last night on her belly and they are starting to spread and get puss filled.
I've been on the phone on hold with the Dr's office for 20 minutes...I'm trying to find out if :
Re: Seriously chicken pox!
Just got off the phone...
Violet has not been immunized yet
but Audrey has been immunized twice. They say 10% of the population it doesn't work on. GREAT!
Audrey is happy because she can not get her flu shot on Wed.
I had a scare when I thought A had been exposed once asked the doctor about it.. I don't believe the varicella vaccine is given until at least one year.
She said if he did get it, it would simply be monitored and then he wouldn't receive the two vaccine doses.
This was a while ago so it's not fresh on my mind but maybe it will help some!
Oh man, I hated the chicken pox.. and the oatmeal baths or whatever they were.. yuk!
I hope Audrey gets over them soon and that Violet doesn't get them.. GL :-)

Poor you, poor Audrey! I hope V doesn't get it. I have had chicken pix about six times now. I am one of the lucky ones who don't seem to build immunity. Don't even get me started on Mumps and Rubella.
FWIW, Looking back, the few times I had it when I was under 12 were not as bad as later on, so hopefully she gets off easy. Cool baths always helped the itch for me, and Benedryl does as well.
