I had mumps, chicken pox, and measles when I was a kid. But my kids have all been fully vaccinated. My oldest had chicken pox when he was about 3 years old because the vaccine had not been invented yet. He gave it to 4 people - 2 adults, his cousin, and my other son who was 9 months old at the time. DS2 had to get vaccinated for the CP when he was a teenager because his outbreak was very mild at 9 months.
La - hope your brother recovers quickly and you don't get them!
