Nicole is down with chicken pox.
Yes, she will be away from school for the entire week. she is more likely to be quarantined at home while she recovers.
Nic is relatively active and almost her usual self, other than a temperature of 38.2 degree.
The doc gave her fever medication, medication for the chicken pox and itchiness, some calamine lotion for applying, and advice for plenty of rest, and to stay home. Well, thats what the doc said, but from what my mum and aunties advised, there's definitely a longer list of "dos" and "don'ts"!
No picking the pox - for obvious reason, we don't want to have pot marks
No Seafood - may cause even more itchiness
No snacks and Heaty Food - for obvious reason
No black sauce - may cause the pot marks to turn black (huh ??????)
No chicken - (HUH ?????)
Whatever, nursing a feverish child is bad enough. I can't imagine there's so many issues with the diet. Anyway, gonna be staying home a lot more this week

No chicken or peanuts or anything high in protein becos they trigger more pox (and perhaps more itch).
