Chicken Pox?

I noticed a couple of spots on Emrie's face yesterday morning. By the afternoon, she had 8 more bright red ones on her arm. YIKES!!! Could it be chicken pox? I found out if it is chicken pox there's really not much you can do. Tylenol for fever and an oatmeal bath for the itching. Thankfully, she hasn't had any fever and seems to be in a great mood so hopefully that means no itching. This morning the spots were still there but she didn't have any additional ones pop up. So now I'm thinking maybe it was a mosquito attack - which, honestly, I don't like that anymore than the idea of chicken pox. At least with bites she doesn't have to be quarantined. Regardless, she loved her oatmeal bath last night and has been in a wonderful mood today.
