I think I did say that I sent mine to the last day of vacation bible
school with the beginning of chicken pox. I figured that everyone
there had been exposed by that time anyway.

And I also said that my mom sent me to school with measles when I was
a senior in HS.

I didn't have my kids in daycare much because I was a SAHM, although
they went to pre-school in some cases. They were a pretty healthy
lot. Plus it was a long time ago as the youngest is 34. But I don't
remember taking them to the base nursery or school if they were sick
except for that once..

Several times I did find that one of them would run a fever for no
apparent reason and the other one would prove to have strep.
