So sorry to hear about your Shingles!
...Hi Jenn, <br /><br />So sorry to hear about your Shingles! <br />I had them one summer during college actually. They weren't painful, just really itchy, but hurt if I touched them they were just very sensitive. <br /><br />And they looked horrible because they pussed up and then the blisters broke open, but that is how the doctor knew they were healing themselves apparently. So if they start to look worse before they get better that's normal! <br /><br />The only medicine they gave me was some cream to help with the itchiness! Other than that they let me "ride them out" <br /><br />It left some pox scars though, even though I hardly touched them. The scars haven't been noticeable in years until the skin was stretched out with the pregnancy and then I was was like "hey those are my shingle scars!"<br /><br />It only lasted a couple weeks and then they were gone though from start to finish I hope yours don't linger and you can see your baby boy again soon!<br /><br />Glad you got to see/talk to the specialist though.<br /><br />hugs<br />AndreaBen & Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922550102408406263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424308283955366676.post-72988945361077509082010-07-29T15:19:56.736-04:002010-07-29T15:19:56.736-04:00Hang in there.

I celebrate ours every year with the girls, to me that day is as important as the day they were born as it is the day I truly got to be with my babies. The first thing we did was take them home, and fall asleep on the couch holding them. Something we were never permitted to do in the NICU - you couldn't even close your eyes for a long blink.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692815776632736070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424308283955366676.post-80378303672858272242010-07-29T13:41:50.837-04:002010-07-29T13:41:50.837-04:00jen

Lochlan will be so lucky to be able to go back to this blog and learn about his mother's/family's journey during his first year. <br /><br />As much as i know you can feel like "why is this happining to me/us" - and no one can blame you for that - you are dooing so great, taking everything in strides. <br />As an outsider, I can see so many blessings here, and you are so lucky! <br />To have a specialist call you, talk for 20 minutes, then rush your tests is amazing. As is the hope that it may be a miss diagnosis. <br /><br />You are also in the right space right now. But remenber to take care of you. Do what you feel like doing, take some time to wallow, but not to much. Pack your boxes, scream a few times, call a good friend and take a long walk/run or bath. <br /><br />Your story is so inspiring to me. And I know, in a few months, when Lochlan is home, in your arms and smiling at you for the first time - this will all be just a memory. <br /><br />Your baby is so strong, you are so strong, and your family is so strong. There is no need for anyone to worry about you guys, because we all know you will all be fine. But know that many people are in your life to help you out along the way, and even more people are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />I wish you the best of luck with the new house (how exciting!) and I look forward to more posts on how you guys are doing and my thoughts & prayers are with you guys and Lochlan.<br /><br />Sincerely and with much love,<br />Kara BabcockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424308283955366676.post-25937516717389372032010-07-29T10:18:08.558-04:002010-07-29T10:18:08.558-04:00Oh Jen,

We will say prayers for you to get better soon and for your new home! Keep your head up and stay strong!<br />Take CareHeather Anoreply@blogger.com
