Day care just called and said DD appears to have coxsackie. No fever, but they said she's got the obvious spots on her hands and feet. They say she doesn't need to be picked up because she doesn't have a fever and once the spots are out, she's not contagious anymore. Apparently there are two other kids in her class who have had the same thing this week - mild spots just on hands/feet, no fever.
But here's the issue... Tomorrow is her first birthday and we've got 60 people (18 kids) scheduled to come to our house. The rental company is outside right now setting up the tent, we've got the food ordered, musician scheduled, etc. I'm obviously going to give all the parents a heads up, but should I be cancelling the party? Is what day care is saying (that she's not contagious anymore) really true?
My son had it 4 times, so you would think I'd be an expert, but whenever he had it, he was really sick, high fever, etc. so there was no questions.
Maybe call your pediatrician to get a medical opinion.
