Just got an email from Lydia's future preschool. Seems there have been some cases of scarlet fever... and so the cycle of "fun" begins: Enroll healthy child in preschool. Healthy child is suddenly ill every other week. Child recovers, returns to school for a day, home again for a week.
We were scheduled to begin on Monday, but now I'm not so sure. I mean really, scarlet fever?!?! Didn't even know that one still exists. In my mind, it's filed in the same category as rickets, gangrene, scurvy... ya know. Agh.
Have any experience with this one? Not sure if I should follow my "overprotective Mom" instinct or throw her to the den of wolves and hope she comes out on top of the "survival of the fittest" experiment.

Don't worry, it's just the beginning :). We hat the announcement of scarlet fever in kindergarden all winter through (thats at least how I feel it). Best announcement we had was scarlet fever, chickenpox and diarrhea on one page posted at the front door.
I'm with you Ann-marie, I thought scarlet fever fell off the map like polio. I would do a little Google research and learn more before making a decision!
I surrived scarlet fever as an infant...not saying you should enroll her anyway, just wanted to assure you that it's not as serious these days with more advanced treatment. :)
We just had our first head lice announcement at our school. I am obsessively picking through Owen's hair any chance I get. So far so good.
