Oh. My. God. My mom just called and said that my dad has SHINGLES. Commence freaking out. Not only am I worried about my dad as he is going to be in pain for the next two to three weeks (he had them before), but I was reading online that if his blisters are oozing (EWWWW) this weekend, he should stay away from pregnant ladies. According to a couple of online sites, if the mother has had chickenpox, then she is immune, along with the unborn baby. So in order for this to really be a problem, the expecting mother would never have gotten chicken pox AND they would have to touch the oozing blisters (ewwww). We are going to have at least FOUR pregnant ladies at the wedding this weekend (two are groomsmen’s wives, one is a bridesmaid = closer contact with my parents than regular guests)……and I hope that they don’t freak out.
This? Not what I need right now.

Oh, this sucks! Hopefully they won't freak out! I'm sure all of his oozing blisters (gross) will be appropriately covered. And he won't be walking any of them down the aisle. Maybe they can just avoid hugging him.
Your poor dad!
Oh, poor dad. These things are really painful, uh ? My grandma had that a couple years ago. I'm sure it'll be perfectly fine as long as they're bandaged properly. Don't worry about that :) it's not gonna be oozing all over the place.
Ok, breathe! It will all work out.
You should tell your friends just to let them know. You have a few days and your dad may feel better by then.
I am here if you need anything!!
oh sorry honey, but try to focus. He's had them before. You'll all get through this. Just tell the preggers to keep their distance!
