Backstory: Brother (that lives with us) tested positive for TB. chest xray was negative. My mom and I have had ongoing coughs (plus my mom has blood in mucous) that were not improving so they wanted the rest of us to test to be sure.

Long story short(er): DH and I both had a positive skin test. We are going to get X-rays today. My moms skin test looked neg but dr said it's possible to skin test neg and still be positive (and her symptoms are worsening) so she will be getting xray too.

They had to contact Dept. of Health because there is a cluster of positives in the same household with no other risk factors. If all our X-rays are neg they are still going to look into it because that means someone exposed our family.

At this point, they are not worried about Laney since she isn't exhibiting any symptoms. If we're all neg she won't have any testing, if someone is positive we will look into it further.

Aye yi yi! This has turned into a big mess! I got sent home from work again and so did my mom. Hopefully we all test negative!

ETA UPDATE: whew!! We're all negative! So their is someone that exposed us but since no children are involved no one here has active tb they will not investigate further. Glad this is over for now!

Should have wet readings by this afternoon. The outbreak is on Skid Row- we definitely haven't been there! Haha but maybe it's spreading to a larger population too?
