Wedding woe ( chickenpox ! )

It's disappointing but the child or his immediate family shouldn't be at the wedding. Apart from the fact that chicken pox is horrible, there may be guests with compromised immune systems. Maybe there will be a video link or the family could have a later celebration when everyone is better.

And no of course the child shouldn’t be at the wedding.

Is easy to say the child should have had the vaccine but it cost my daughters over a hundred pounds to have their toddlers vaccinated. I think parents can now get it for free on the NHS but am not even sure if that has kicked in yet.

Is she vaccinated?

A three year old with chicken pox should not go to a wedding. Not sure why it is even necessary to ask.

Do you think Lathyrus 3 my daughter my Grandsons mother should still be bridesmaid ?

I was a bridesmaid to my Aunt at the age of 7. Unbeknown to anyone I had chickenpox which manifested itself the next day. 3 days later my Aunt and Uncle had to cut short their honeymoon and return home because she had chickenpox. She was actually quite ill. She never let me forget it! (In the nicest possible way I should add).

I doubt I would have been allowed anywhere near that wedding if we had known.

I would have been horrendously upset, but I'm quite sure I would have got over it.

Too late now, but chickenpox vaccine would have protected the child!
Most adults have had chickenpox, and will be immune, so someone can mind the child during the wedding. Adults can NOT catch shingles from someone with chickenpox, but anyone who hasn't had it could be vulnerable.

I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.

There’s disappointment but no dilemma surely?

Thankyou Aldom
That must have been very hard for you all. Its so awful when these things happen at very special times.

Children who have chickenpox should be isolated until the blisters have formed scabs.... several days.
This prevents the spread of the contagious virus to vulnerable people, ie pregnant women, new born babies and those with a weak immune system.
Years ago I had to isolate my three year old granddaughter when she had chickenpox. Her mummy was in hospital having recently given birth to a baby who was very poorly.
I could no longer take my granddaughter in to see her mummy.
It was hard, but absolutely necessary.
You will have to consider the guests at your daughter's wedding I'm afraid.
I hope the wedding day goes well otherwise. Best wishes.
