It seems that Violet may be developing chicken pox. She had a fever about 3 days ago, and now has small superficial red dots in her hairline, on her face and neck, and in her diaper area. We'll be keeping a close eye on them to see if they're progressing as chicken pox would. Any good thoughts sent our way would be appreciated, as I've never had chicken pox. The risk for a fetus if a pregnant woman contracts varicella is very real, though congenital varicella syndrome is rare. I'll be contacting my doctor to try to get my titers drawn to determine if I carry immunity (a real possibility).

i am starting to doubt my initial diagnosis. the disease progressed just like chicken pox. we'll see how it looks in the morning.

good for you. it really is the most useless vaccine...not that i'm one to talk since we're in this pickle but i'm pretty positive upon examination that she's pox free.
