Well, I woke up this morning with a blister on my cheek? What? Mom thought ringworm, although she has never actually seen what it looks like...a coworker with Todd thought Shingles!
So, instead of a trip to see Linden, Todd dropped me off at the doctor's office. I went into Dr. Jackson's office pleading for a different diagnosis...nope. I have one sore on my cheek and cannot see Linden for at least 24 hours until the medicine takes effect. If it spreads I cannot see her for 10 days. They are going to treat her as if she has it too. I am so sad, and feeling life isn't fair today. But, I don't want to get anyone else's baby sick. It is only transmitted by contact with the sore. So, most likely everyone is fine. I almost made my 70 yr old male doctor cry...he actually teared up. Long morning...my fear is that Linden won't bond with me if I am not there for her to hear my voice...
Linden update...from Todd...
Today is a turnaround day, and hopefully be able to wean her from the oxygen. They expect her to begin to get better in the next 24 hours. Her oxygen support is lower but the pressure is higher. Todd is much more optimistic and reasonable...I am more emotion and living in the terrible moment of seeing her attached to every plastic tube they make!
So, pray the Shingles don't spread and I get the rest I need to heal...that I can keep it together a few more days!
