UPDATE
I tried calling Sabian’s doctor to get her an appt for an hour & a half & never got to talk to anybody. Lucky me, working at the hospital has its advantages. I took her into my ER and had her seen. Unfortunately she has the shingles. I am sure most of you know what this is. When you have the chicken pox as a child, as it heals, the virus travels down your nerves to the nerve root and stays there. Most of the time it lies dormant and you would never know. However if it comes back, it comes back as shingles. Looking at it, it seems way worse than any chicken pox case I have ever seen. At least with the chicken pox its spots here & there. The shingles are blisters on top of blisters in huge sections. She has it all up her left arm, under her arm pit and on the left hand side of her back. According to the doctor, shingles typically infect people over 50 years old. My poor 13 year old is the exception. 
She has been in so much pain because it is right at the nerve roots. She is on 2 medications plus me putting calamine lotion on all of it. She is out of school for the entire week because she is contagious. We are keeping her away from her sister. The doctor said he preferred that Ariel go stay with a grandparent or something but we cant do that right now because my mom & step dad are fighting alot. So we have to seriously limit the girls contact with each other. Its been exhausting.
My hubby & I have done nothing but fight for days. Right now he thinks nothing I do is right..nothing I make for dinner is good enough..blah blah blah….So I have been sleeping on the couch.
Right now I am depressed but trying to make it through.

sorry to hear that you and your family is having so much drama. i hope it all gets better soon.
First of all, ohh I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon. Sounds painful.
It sounds like your under a lot of stress right now–I’m sorry your going through this.
Any chances of maybe talking to your hubby, and getting things worked out?
I sure hope things ease up for you guys.
For your depression, try to get outside–that seems to help me.
Hugs
I hope your daughter is feeling much better soon. It sounds painful.
Is there something going on that is making your husband so testy? Sometimes when I am stressed out, I start taking it out on my boyfriend without meaning to. He brings me to reality by telling me that whatever is bothering me, he didn’t cause it and shouldn’t be paying for it.

I sure didn’t know shingles was contagious…. I remember my mom had it and we weren’t cautioned about contact? It’s too bad you have to deal with all this and hubby being a poop-head too! Let him cook his own dinner if he doesn’t like what you fix. ARRRRGGGGhhhhh! Here’s a nice (((hug))) from me, wish I could be more helpful.
Oh no
Hang in there, you can do this.
Poor kid. Well if you makes you feel any better the younger you have it, the less likely you have the lingering pain associated with it so she will most likely be just fine.
BIG BIG HUG. I know fighting with your husband SUCKS.
Aww hun I’m sorry to hear/read about all your trouble! My cousin just had shingles on her face and in one EYE!!!!!! Poor girl! It lasts like 3 weeks its awful! Sorry about the issues with the Hubs. If he doesn’t like what you make he can get up and make dinner (that’s what I’d say to him) also…why are you on the couch you go to bed in your room in your bed and tell him he’s on the couch!!! He is the one acting like a pissy little kid. Okay that’s it! Chin up
aahh what happened to my comment!
I hope Sabian gets better soon!
Try not to get too exhausted doing all the crazy work, trying to keep all the kids from contact and whatnot!
Goodness! I will keep you in my thoughts for sure and I hope Sabians gets better fast! Poor thing!
Take it easy this week, and we are here if you need to chat!
I am so sorry to hear you are having such a bad week. I hope Sabian ( I love that name) feels better soon and things calm down with you husband.
