Friday afternoon Andrea started to really complain about a rash that she had on her side and belly. She called the baby doc and had a prescription called in for a cream to put on it. The rash continued to get worse and more painful through the weekend. Last night at 3am it was so unbearable that we went to an urgent care center that we thought was open 24 hrs a day. They were closed and Andrea did not want to go to the Emergency Department so back home we went. We got to bed at about 5am but did not really get any sleep. At about 9am she got an appointment at her primary Dr and it was diagnosed as Shingles. They are spreading across her chest and back and hurt all the time. They gave her medicine to treat them and also pain medication to try to help her get some sleep. It sounds like it is not a quick fix and she may be pretty uncomfortable for a week or more. Her primary and baby doc both say the pain medication is fine for the babies so hopefully she will be able to get some sleep. On another note we got notification back from Magee for the first test for infection which was negative. We are waiting on the other results but they will not be in till later this week.
