sacramento curse

so dave just went to the doctor cuz he has this super ugly rash on his left elbow and ring finger...we were thinking it was some kind of heat rash...apparently, it's shingles.

okay, so caleb got the chickenpox vaccine when he turned one...but brynna hasn't gotten it yet cuz they don't give it until one. so now i'm freaking out and googling everything i can find about shingles, its contagiousness, and chickenpox symptoms.

i just wanna cry.

so far, from what i've read, shingles is contagious through the blisters only...not through breathing on or sneezing near a child. i'm just worried, though...i mean, she's just a little baby whose immune system is not strong. if she gets chickenpox when i'm in sacramento, i'm going to crazy with worrying and being sad and not being able to take care of her.

this completely reminds me of last summer, when dave went to sacramento and i was home with the flu. i felt like crap, and more than that, i was soooo worried that i could have infected caleb. now i'm going to be worried until the incubation time period passes to see if brynna's been infected.

i know it's not dave's fault...but of course, my worry turns into irritation and frustration and it's taken out on him. goodness gracious. i'm waiting for brynna's doctor to call me to let me know what course of action to take...
