Measles! Need a Naturopath in Eastern Suburbs!

[Lulu]

The rash seems to be fading away already...

[briggsy's girl]

if it's going away already, i'd be thinking it's not really measles hun...

[Junglemum]

Damn, was looking forward to the cupcakes!

Actually, just because the rash is fading, doesn't mean it's not measles. It can be a very mild virus, some children don't even get the rash and in other cases, it does fade quickly.

'I've come into contact with measles during two of my pregnancies so have done a lot of reading about it.

luluwhich local pool????? please dont say boronia??!!

[Lulu]

Yep..sorry!

I sent the teenragers there with the little ones so I could mop the floor. SEE what you get for doing housework????

I am utterly convinced its Measles, but it does seem a mild case after all. The spots got really angry looking this afternoon and I have just run about stocking up on Panadol, lemonade and jelly...and CUPCAKES!

They both got very mild cases of the mumps too, only lasting a day or so. Weird. I would rather they got a full belt of it (that sounds horrible) so I could be sure they couldn't get a second bout.

Still sending DS to his dads tomorrow so I can get DD to lie down and chill for 5 minutes, she's not out of the woods yet.

ETA: the kids were at the pool a day or two after Boxing Day AJ.

thanks lulu we were there wednesday!

hope miss E gets better soon,

[Junglemum]

doesn't sound horrible, makes perfect sense to me. That's why spot parties used to be so popular i guess. Bummer i'm not allowed over, i made some ripper cupcakes myself today!
