Chicken Pox

Yesterday CC had a red splotches on her cheek and chin.  She also had 6 bumps on her hip, tummy, and one on her rib.  She was energetic as usual with no fever-- yet I was convinced it might be CHICKEN POX!

We went on the defensive immediately separating the girls and planning an early am dr's appointment.  I spent the night kicking myself for still not having her vaccinated for the Chicken Pox.

Today-- the rash on her face was gone and the six bumps are clearly some sort of bites.

Phew no chicken pox.

But, I am planning to schedule the vaccination... or should I?  

Since we didn't have the vaccination when we were kids, I feel like it should be okay if she doesn't get it-- especially with all of the concerns about over vaccination these days.  I have a friend who's daughter got chicken pox even though she was vaccinated- but it was a very mild case only 5 pox.

I'm 95% gonna vaccinate for it, but I'm hesitant since it is a live vaccine.  Doesn't it seem wrong to inject your child with live germs?

What do you think?
