Chicken Pox – Again (by sarah)
Yesturday as well as my physio appointment we had an appointment for Jean as she has had a perminate cold for about six weeks and it had esculated in the last few days. The result of the appointment was that she was fine and it is just a string of colds etc... but its good for her immune system. If the cough becomes weezy come back etc... becuase there is a slight chance that she could have asthma.
I asked about glue ear and he said it was borderline at the moment but that they now avoid putting gromets in as it tends to clear its self up and they have less invasive techniques now - I had gromets twice so I am obviously on edge about Jeans hearing.
Again we now have a list of things to look out for - she is still abit young for a hearing test to be reliable but shes responding to sound so hopefully she'll be ok.
Anyway, we sent her into nursery and at 2pm we get a phone call saying that she is covered in spots and has chicken pox and could we come and get her - sigh - that will be why she was suddenly worse with the cold stuff. How many times is she going to get this particular thing?
Again she doesn't even reaklly seem ill - no temperature just getting tired quickly and being abit naughty really.

Hang on a minute, Chicken pox again? I was sure you could only get it once?

I had it three times as a kid - different strains people are too mixed up and travel to much for that to be the case anymore.

This lady has never had but nursed Sarah and David who also had it twice. My brothers and sisters all had it but not me nor the next sister down, but we were always there with the others. So it would appear that there is no rhyme nor reason for the way some of these ailments trail their way around various members of the human race.
So long as she is not running a sky high temperature, nor scratching too much, there does not seem to be a problem. However, can Len be fumigated before he comes home, just in case he is hiding the germ, this lady has had enough for now!
