Ugh... medical-related question

it is turning into one of THOSE days. DH just got home from a hospital visit (he was visiting one of his elderly parishioners who was hospitalized earlier this week). He was only gone briefly - turns out that he couldn't see his parishioner b/c they suspect he has tuberculosis, so he's in isolation. DH obviously didn't see him today, but DID see him for a half hour a few days ago (before he was in isolation/they suspected TB). Sooooo we have a call in to the pedi for DS and the OB for me, b/c I have no idea if this is something we need to be concerned about or not. Luckily DH has worked as a hospital chaplain before and therefore washes up obsessively after doing hospital visits, but even so... sigh. I need today to be over already.

Anyone w/ any experience on TB exposure and whether or not I need to be worried about DS, myself, or LO as I wait for calls back from the pedi and OB?

Re: Ugh... medical-related question

  • I've been exposed to TB.  I didn't know that I had been until I was skin tested for a job that I was starting. 

    I got a positive skin test, was told to NEVER get that skin test again.  I'm not sure if they can do the skin test on children or pg ladies, so you'll have to see what can be done to show an exposure. 

    I have a yearly chest x-ray to check my lungs.  Being exposed doesn't mean that you have or will get TB. 

    GL.
