My 3yo came down with it three weeks ago, the week before Easter. We kept 7yo home from school for the last week of term, expecting him to get spotty any minute, and because they are contagious during the incubation period (approx. 7-10 days). So we waited.<BR/>Morning and night we checked for spots on 7yo. Alabaster. And we waited.

MY daughter got exactly 3 spots. two on her hand, and 1 on her buttcheek. My son got *1*. A REALLY big one that itched like crazy, on the bottom of his foot. I am ALL for the vaccine, because I am sure they would have gotten it much worse had it not been for that.

The number of kids who have serious problems from chickpox is minscule relative to the cost of making sure every little kid gets vaccinated. I'm all for letting them get it au natural and if you haven't by the time you are 10 or 12 get the vaccine. No one ever listens to me, though.<BR/><BR/>Amy lane - get them vaccinated!

When my siblings and I had chickenpox (waaaay before the vaccine was available in the US), all four of us had it at the same time in August with no AC. My mom bought paintbrushes and let us paint each others' spots with calamine lotion. AND she dragged our little wading pool into the kitchen onto a tarp, and filled it with bath toys and ice cubes since we couldn't go Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
