Haley funny you should brought this topic up. I went for my yearly phycial yesterday. The dr. asked me if I ever had the chicken pox as a child. I told her that I don't think so and that my children had them badly and I had slept with them. I also have been around adults who have had the shingles. She said most likely is that I am immuned to them. But she wants to run a blood test to see. She did tell me that if you have never had chicken pox you do not get the shingles. That is only if you had them as a child.
The dr. told me that a person who never had chicken pox would get the chicken pox as an adult and it would be dangerous. Infection to the brain can happen and severe scarring. I don't want to scare you. Tell your husband to get a blood test or talk to the dr. about it.
Aww I hope Micah is feeling better.
