So Jaime, Richard's 14 yr old sister, came down with shingles over the Lunar New Year 2 weeks and had to be hospitalised after 3 visits to the A+E because the doctors couldn't figure out the diagnosis. After a night in the isolation ward, the doctors agreed to discharge her but only after her younger sister, Audrey 10yr old, and brother, Richard 8 yr old, was vaccinated with the Chicken Pox vaccine. So that Fri 19/2 we had to quickly get the vaccinations done before Jaime could be discharged.
Well I thought that the idea of the vaccinations were to reduce the effects of Chicken Pox if they were to succumb to it but low and behold, Audrey came down with full blown chicken pox the following week with vestibules all over her body. The poor girl was so disappointed in having to miss her P5 school camp! Jaime had already missed her school trip to Cambodia the week before and that was devastating!
We were worried about Richard as he was feverish the whole week after the vaccination. He seemed alright a week later when fever disappeared. But... the fever somehow recurred last week end... high fever with chills. Today, 3 Days on, the fever seems to have subsided.

Oh dear, I hope both of your daughters get well soon! Maybe you should take Richard to the doctor just in case.
