HI Joanna:

Great question and timely as well (for me).  I just found out that my son was exposed to chicken pox last week at his speech therapy class.  I have been watching for a week to see if he is displaying any symptoms but I have not seen anything so far.

I am a little concerned because Kenny never used to get sick (he was diagnosed late as a SWCAH).  Every since we started him on the Cortef (about 40 days ago), he seems to be sick all the time now (colds, ear infections, etc.) He seems to be an unusual case - he has his doctor and his NP kind of scratching their heads. 

I would also be interested to hear what other’s have to say about this.

Thanks,
