So Mike has been complaining about his body hurting and then we noticed a rash. Not really thinking anything of it, he scratched it......unfortunately, that made it much worse so I made an appointment for him with our clinic. The minute he started telling the doctor what his symptoms were and revealed the "rash", the doctor just nodded and said that without looking at anything she knew for sure that it was shingles!!!! SHINGLES!
Never in our wildest imagination did we think it would be diagnosed as shingles! I'm still in shock, just slightly. So....that leaves us with being quarantined for the next 7 days. Mike has to work from home, which thankfully is an option, Praise the Lord, but this is still going to be a slight change from the normal. The doctor also warned us that Taylor will probably get chicken pox (that truly is something to look forward to! :))
We were able to get some medication to help shorten the life of the virus but there isn't much more that we can do. Oh, he did get some strong pain medication and life is much better now! Again, wow......we'll see what the world is like these next few days! :)
