Chicken Pox

I have no idea at all Darlene was inffected by chicken pox. All I know she not feeling well.

On the first week, she have flu. Since she always complaining about her stomach ache, decided to send her to clinic. Doctor said she have slight fever. Well, I did not notice that because, she active, eating and drinking like usual. Then on Saturday (24 July 2010), she still complaining about her stomach and her rashes develop over her body. We went to a better clinic. Doctor said, maybe she having an early stage of gastric symptom. As for the rashes, doctor decided it was a insect bite, maybe she have allergy and it spread to other part of body. Then he gave her some cream for the rashes and also some medicine.

So, I started to worried. Thinking of cleaning the house and get a clean mattress to put at her nursery.

Then, coming Monday notice the rashes develop to other area and much more than yesterday. But she still active like usual. So, I send her to nursery that morning. Later that night she started to complaint painful at her lower ribs, the part where alot of rashes develop. I kind of worried and took EL the next day. Call the father and we bring her to see Uncle Adrian. Her usual paediatric specialist at Gleaneagles.

Then, complaint everything to the doctor. About her painful ribs, about her stomach, about the rashes. After careful checking Dr. Adrian told us that she inffected by chicken pox. It can't be insect bites because, not much rashes on her hands or legs. In fact the rashes develop on her body, back and front, alot. So he gave us presciption like the lotion to prevent the itchness and something for her stomach as well. Then, from that day until 2 weeks later she not coming to school. Her father taking care of her for those two weeks.

Now on the fourth weeks. The blisters all dried up, but notice this few days she develop new blister here and there on her body. She have fever last week, together with flu and very bad cough. No appetite to eat this few days. Worried, but still have to send her to nursery. I can't take leave, boss won't like it. It takes him ages to sign my medical claim that day. (He thought I lied to him about my daughter conditions).

Gosh! don't know what to do.
