Chicken Pox - Part 2



So Since Friday 11th Beth has had spots. They looked completely different from Neive's spot so I hoped they wouldn't turn into chicken pox since we had a wedding on Saturday. They looked like white boils whereas Neives were bright red spots. Neive only had a rash on her back and about 7 fierce looking spots. Poor Beth has really red fierce looking spots all over her face (even in her ear) and all over the areas her nappy is on. You'd think this would mean she would be grumpy, unsettled and crying a lot but she's been fine. Not a cry or even an attempt to scratch. They do look like the kind that will leave pox marks though.

It was her first night stay away on Saturday night while we were at the wedding. Now Neive was farmed out overnight much younger but there would have been no chance I would have left Neive when she was ill as a baby. So I felt really guilty about this. I think part of the reason she settles well with other people is that she can see Neive and knows she's safe and we'll be back. That's what I told myself anyway!
