CHICKEN POX IS NOT A MINOR ILLNESS.
Sorry for yelling, but I really want to get your attention on this. My older daughter got chicken pox when she was about 10. She wound up in the hospital because the chicken pox were breaking out on her brain, throat and other organs. She was passing out - we didn't realize it until we found her on the floor of the bathroom in a puddle of urine. She was hospitalized for 3 days, in isolation. If she had passed out on the stairs or hit her head in the bathroom, who knows what would have happened?
