At home with the Chicken Pox

Well it seems that we will be home bound for a few days.  My vaccinated children came in contact with an unvaccinated child who had shingles.  (Isn't this why we have modern medicine?)  So now they have a mild case of the chicken pox.  So though they, at this point, feel fine, they have to stay home.  They have the pox, little to no itching, just the actual pox.  So we have to stay home so not to spread it to other non-suspecting families.  That is how you do it you know.  When you are aware you have an infectious disease you stay home.  If your children do (or could possibly still be contagious,) you don't let them...ahh lets say SPEND THE NIGHT with other children.  I had no idea that shingles could lead to chicken pox.  I know, I know, not that big of a deal.  My kids will be fine.  Would you want to stay in the same house for 5-7 days with four children.  That is the time frame if the other two don't get it.  I wish people would be considerate of others and keep their diseases to themselves.
