La-La very likely has chicken pox! She received the vaccination at 12 months as well as the booster with her kindergarten shots but she has lots of red itchy bumps. We took her to her pediatrician tonight and he can't say for sure that she has chicken pox but he really can't say that she doesn't. Because she was vaccinated, she may present with the illness differently than a classic case. We thought she had a mild case about a year ago but now that I have seen what she has now, I doubt she had it before. These spots now are bigger, there are more, and they are itchy where before they never bothered her. Maybe it is just a weird rash but who knows! So we have been quarantined for 2 weeks with the stomach flu and now we have to play it safe and keep her home for who knows how long! If it really is chicken pox, I hope our other vaccinated kids don't get it and I hope I don't get it! I did have it as a child but I had a very mild case.
What do you think? Chicken pox or something else?

So we haven't had chicken pox so I can't give an expert opinion, but either way that looks uncomfortable. I feel so bad you guys are stuck at home especially in the winter it can be so depressing. Good luck with it all!
It looks a little different then Luke's. These look like they would blanche. But if they start to crust in the center within the next day or so.....yep. Makes you glad you let them suffer through 2 shots doesn't it!
Wow, that's crazy! I hope it isn't chicken pox, and I hope you figure out what it is!
Chicken pox....that stinks...good luck
