poor missy! hope she doesnt get too itchy!!
u answered ur own question, and should tell everyone the same, even if kids ARE immunised against CP they'll still get it.
We dont vaccinate either, we havent told many ppl because we cant be bothered with ppl thinking we;re the hippy sort who will eventually kill our children because of it.
You know why u chose to not vacc and thats the most impotant thing
Pity you are so far away, I would bring DD over to rub some spots!
Hope she gets better soon, Pinetarsel and calamine lotion work wonders, and if it gets really bad, oven mits on the hands
Charlotte hasn't had ANY vaccinate-able (lol) illness yet, I am expecting her to get at least one, but nothing so far. Some I would be concerned and we have had 2 WC scares, but none has made me feel guilty or rethink y decision not to vax her. Especially Chicken Pox!! I would be thrilled if she got it, and with proper management there is very little chance it is harmful in the long term.
(My only concern would be if she got German Measles when I was pregnant, but as I personally have immunity, it doesn't bother me)
LOL LS - yeah, Pox parties use to be all the rage before immunisations!!!
I have been reading up on oatmeal baths and although i have got calamine and pinatasal, i think that i will grind up some oats tonite and give that a go...
Skybie - i know what you mean about the 'hippy' comment - isnt it ridiculous!!! the people that chose not to vac are usually the best informed on the matter as they take the time to make the decision instead of blindly following the crowd as i did when MJ was a newborn
make a teabag with the oats and an old stocking if you like.
Mine have had mumps so the HEALTH DEPARTMENT called me (OOOoooOOOO), but the lady was lovely and said I clearly had more knowlege about treatment etc than the Dr that reported it and obviously I knew what I was doing hehehe
Pox parties - that's why mum kept sending us round friend's places when they had chicken pox! didn't work though. when it went through our town I swear everyone got it but me and my siblings.
Illness is never nice but its part of life. The immune system cannot develop without it. And like someone else has said - her immunity to CP will be much greater and longer lasting than those who have received a mere vax to the illness.
When my brother got CP as a kid, Mum put the rest of us in a room with him so we all got it at the same time, and were all back at school a week later.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if big rich pharma brought out a vaccine for germs on hand rails and kitchen benches....
Your little one will be right as rain before long. Keep trusting your gut!
