Shingles.....What!!!!

So a couple days ago Taylor started to get a rash under her arm. I didn't think anything of it until she started to say it hurt. After a very long night last night of hearing that her arm hurts, we woke up to this. Needless to say it had spread and I was freaking out. I took her to the Dr. and they told me she has Shingles!!!! What- shingles are what old people get not my 4 year old. The Dr. said she has never seen a child with shingles and was shocked herself. She told me that there is no cure, it is very painful, and it will get worse before it gets better. Anyone want to trade me spots!!! We feel so bad for Taylor because it hurts and there is nothing that will help it. It will get better in 3 to 4 weeks!!!

Here is a picture of her back and the back of her arm.

Oh my gosh that's horrible! I am so so sorry to see that on her. That just breaks my heart. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon:( Give her a big hug and kiss from us.

SHANTEL GOT THAT!!! She was about 3 or 4 too. It was way bad, it hit her nervous system and everything. Tamie learned a lot from it you should call her. I'm so sorry, poor Taylor. Hopefully you all survive and if you need anything let me know what I can do to help. Love yer guts!
