Christmas, shingles, and kids ... oh my! WWYD?

What did you decide to do?

Contrary to everyone's advice here, we ended up going and just didn't let her hold/hug our kids. We just figured since our ped and her doctor both gave the okay, that it was safe to go.

So far (it's been, what ... 3 days now? ... and she came over for a bit yesterday, too), it's been fine.

I'm glad it worked out for you!

I didn't see this beforehand, but I would've gone. I had a mild shingles rash when pregnant and didn't give it to the boys (unvax). I would hesitate if it was a kid with the pox, but adults in general are more hygienic so I worry less.
