Back in the house

Well, just as we thought that Sebastian was back on his feet after the last infection (he made it 5 days in a row in kindergarten this time!) we are now back in the house for some days. In the end of last week we found that Sebastian had a rash on the upper-right side of his chest. We did not think much of it until the weekend when it started to spread a little and get more red-ish. Monday we heard from the kindergarten that another kid had got the chicken pox, but fortunately we had Sebastian vaccinated this Summer. Today - just to make sure - we saw a doctor at the hospital, and she could not rule out that the rash might be shingles. Hmmmmm. Sebastian seems to be fine though, no fever and the rash does not seem to cause him any pain yet. He has been started on zovir-treatment today, and in a couple of days a bloodtest will show us whether it is shingles or not.
