Given her continued fever and malaise, we took Sophie to the village doctor this morning (got an appointment 2 1/2 hours later). she seems to have a slight ear infection and sore throat. While the doc subscribed anti-biotics, we want to wait it out a bit longer. BTW, she only weighs 8.25 kgs, which isn't so heavy at almost 9 1/2 months.
But the bigger news is that Seb has chickenpox! I had noticed something yesterday morning but thought it was a bug bite. Yesterday night, I noticed a spot on his inner thigh. But it wasn't a dreaded hive (symptom of allergic reaction) and we were busy with fussy Sophie and guests. This morning, however, the spots were in full view on his neck, back, legs, bum, edge of his face. A few have come on his scalp and I am sure he will get lots more (it averages at 200!) over the next week. He isn't itchy YET or fractious (except when told he can't go places and mix with other children).
Who knows where he got it (we suspect a bouncy castle 10 days ago) - but at least we will know where Sophie got it when her turn comes in 10-14 days...
