Chickenpox

Just got back from Dr. Gulde's office and found out Claire has the chickenpox! He said it's rare when they have the vaccine but it can happen. It is a very mild case - she isn't even irritated by them so I was shocked to hear that's what it was. We first saw some bumps on Monday evening and they've slowly spread to a few under her chin, one on her scalp, a couple in her armpit, a number in her pantie area - at least they aren't bothering her. We have to wait for all of the bumps to scab over till she isn't contagious so we'll be here a lot. We are still planning our trip to Austin this weekend b/c all the adults we will see have already had chickenpox (well, we're waiting to hear from one).

This is certainly going to make life a little bit interesting! I was going to be taking her to a Dr. appointment on Friday with me but guess that's out! We thankfully were told that I needed to wait another week for BSF - Thank God because she would've been there this morning with a group of kids! He knew what He was doing by not getting me in right away even though I was disappointed. Hopefully she will be all scabbed over by Monday for MDO because I really have to work that day - we'll see how that works out!

Please pray that God heals her quickly and that she continues to feel her normal self!

I have a question for anyone who knows - I've had chickenpox before but does this mean I also need to stay away from adults who haven't had chickenpox before and other kiddos? Could I give it to them simply by being with Claire? I tried looking it up online and forgot to ask my doctor. Let me know if you have any answers!
