Shingles

One day last week my son had blisters forming on his neck. When I asked him what they were he couldn't give me an answer. After a couple days and no improvement in the rash/blisters on his neck we decided to take him to the doctor. At this appointment it was diagnosed that he had shingles. How odd for a 15 year old to have a break out of this. This is very contagious to those who have not had the chicken pox. Why does this matter to us you may ask? Well as it turns out we have a two year old daughter who has not had chicken pox yet. (we do not vaccinate) So I guess we will see in a couple of weeks if she will get the chicken pox for Cole who has Shingles.
