BellaOnline Forums Education Homeschooling Should my child do 'school work' if they are not feeling well?

HI Rogue!
The oldest and baby are over the pox. The oldest was vaccinated, so her case was more like itchy acne, LOL.

The baby was covered from head to toe. She had a few days of low fever and didn't eat for a few days. For the most part, however, baby didn't seem bothered. She looked a lot worse than she felt. She was exposed 3 days before she was to get the vaccine, but we held off on vaccine and I am thankful.

Isn't it weird how the little ones can be covered with mosquito bites but not know to be itchy?

Anyhow, looks like the 5 yr old missed out this time, go figure. She is the reason the first was vaxed and third was going to be. She is epileptic and can't have shots, and any little illness can land her in the hospital.

How did YOU fare with the pox? Man, it must stink having them as an adult!!!!

Everyone says that chicken pox are awful when you are older. It wasn't any worse than having the flu. I did itch quite a but for a couple of days but that is normal to this illness.

I suppose I am very fortunate.
