Week 5 treatment results

Scott's blood work all looked good today again so treatment was given, what did not look good was some type of skin rash we noticed Wednesday night after we got home from our trip.

Our RN today, Mary thought it looked suspicious, and she was correct...Scott is being treated for shingles. It is just the beginning of the breakout so we are hoping that it will be mild, he was given a prescription for 10days of meds that should take care it we hope. Shingles can be very painful; we are hoping that doesn't happen, we have a med if it does though.Scott is very contagious (if you have not had chicken poxs, are expecting, are a newborn or have a weak immune system)...so he will have to be very careful not to spread the disease.

Looks like this week maybe a challenging one...but just one more shot, and Phase III will be completed!!

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Sorry to hear about the shingles. Hope you feel better soon. Steve is up north fixing the patio door and I stayed home to work. Not fair huh? Steve will call you when he gets back.
