My Shingles are still very uncomfortable, about the same as yesterday. They seem to get slightly worse as the day goes on. I sure hope they don't get in the way of our vacation which starts on Saturday.
Catie has been fighting a case of the flu since Monday night. She woke up this morning still very naucous but also complaining of a sore throat. Chris took her into the doc and found out she has Strep Throat. Since we are leaving for vacation on Saturday we decided on the injection anti-biotic vs. the liquid. Well a few hours later about 7pm Catie started complaining of chest pains and numbness in her arms and legs. We call the doc and she suggested we call 911 so she could get to the hospital right away.
The paramedics came and they quickly determined that she was not having any cardiac problems or alergic reactions to the injection. We decided to still have her go to the hospital so that the docs could check her out. Chris just called after waiting for 2 1/2 hours the docs checkout out Catie. They think that what happened is that she was hyperventalating because she was upset over how sick she felt. This is wat caused the numbness in her arms and legs. They are going to give her an IV to rehydrate her and do a chest x-ray to see what the cause of the chest pain is. Hope to have her home in a couple of hours.
