I hadn't got around to an update on Eloïse 's chicken pox until now, and I wanted to finish the saga.
She had a couple of really difficult days with the itching and fever and then it broke. Who knows how much good the homeopathic remedies did, but the calendula cream certainly eased provided some relief.
She's well on the mend now, but since she had such huge pocks on her forehead, the sores are going to be a long time healing. We hope they won't leave scars, but it's hard to imagine there won't be at least a few small ones.
Elsewhere on her body, the sores are healing quite quickly. Her buttocks are settling down now, as is her chest.
In the spirit of generosity, we've passed on the dreaded lurgie to at least one other child, whose mother brought her to the house to deliberately expose her. It sounds cruel, but it's better to get the virus when you're well-prepared for it. We'd previously exposed Eloïse , but she just couldn't seem to catch it.
Anyway, our girl was already feeling much better by the time Opa Tony and Oma Bernie came, but I just didn't get around to blogging about it. That's hereby rectified.
