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.
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!
She's perfectly fine thanks AJ!
Apart from being stuck inside all day (sun is a big no-no), she is her usual self, maybe a little bit thirstier than usual.
The spots are paler on her face, still all over her body but really only pin*****s. I remember I had massive spots all over me and I felt terrible for a whole week. It really seems a mild, mild case.
Wonder why that is? Still waiting to hear my from my friend - Beth was at her daughters first birthday on NYE.....no symptoms there so far.
good to hear lulu!! DD has had one of the MMR i was worried about me but remembered i had MMR for work a few years back!!
glad she's on the mend, probably good to be inside today!!
For what its worth I thought I would add my two cents.
My daughter recently came out in a rash like measles, we spent 2 days in hospital but the docs swore it wasn't measles and it was just some other sort of virus. She was really irritable and covered in the rash. She cleared up 3 days after the rash first appeared and seams fine now.
Hope Elizabeth has cleared up and life can return to 'normal'
