And the diagnosis is...

german measles. Totaly left field that one. Turns out the big lumps on the back of her head which appeared are classic symptoms. Poor MLP, all she wants to do is become the human filling in a sandwich consisting of me and her cashmere jumper. Apparently as its so rare to contract it, she is going to be a statistic. Whoo hoo. Oh yes, also, you can only catch it after your first birthday, which is why the MMR vaccine is at 13 months. Her first bday was two and a bit weeks ago. Incubation period is at least two weeks. Guess she must have received it as an alternartive bday present from Dark Angel. I hope he / she does not expect a thank you note.

Poor lite mite!! But the rest of the family has been vaccinated right?

hi, yes we have. Am not allowed to take her out until Friday at the earliest, if it gets better. By then I will be licking the windows. Have been taking light relief in the commentators mis-pronouncing the Hungarian names. Hilarious.
