My Mother in Law...
Found out on St. Patrick's Day that she has Shingles.She had it for a week without knowing it, and she was around Jacob during that week!!  So I had called the Ped last friday to let him know and he just said to watch him for any signs. Now tonight as i was taking his clothes off for his bath i noticed a RASH all over his torso and on his upper arms. I am freaking out. He doesnt have a fever and doesnt seem to be uncomfortable from it, but i have to take him to the ped first thing in the morn!!!! I am hoping it is just an ordinary skin rash... With all his other issues, I will just DIE if he has it!!!!!!!! Wish me luck....

Re: My Mother in Law...
It seems a tad bit early..
My Dad had shingles it started showing up a few weeks prior to our wedding.. talk about stressful. And it affected his face. It's really painful for him and he looked like a monster and had to wear makeup for our wedding. Luckily no one got it and we all lived with him, shared a bathroom.. etc! I hope it's nothing and just a rash..
Prayers for you, the baby and your MIL (I know how terrible my Dad felt, he got it from a cateract surgery)

Re: My Mother in Law...
I was under the impression shingles is usually on the torso but on one side, along a nerve -- wouldn't it manifest itself as chicken pox?

It can be anywhere. My Dad's was on his face around his eye. Dh's cousin had it once on her back.

Praying that he doesn't get it. I'm sure your MIL feels just awful about this. I also hope she gets well soon. Shingles is not fun.

I hope all is fine. Don't worry to much, I know easier said than done.
When Andrew was born, my MIL came to visit us in the hospital. She called the next day to say she couldn't come that day because she was giong to the doc. She calls me that night to tell me she has shingels. Andrew was less than a day old when she had contact with him and everything was fine. My doc assured me that my immunity was passed on to him, so I should just pay attention and not worry!
