so we had her TB test read and they saw the bruise and said the raised area was from the bruise and that it was negative. well that seemed hinky to me so i went to see my friend at the clinic on other side of island. they looked and said it was positive. so...i called the doc and she said we will repeat it in a month or so. since the first clinic signed her school paperwork, she is fine to go. did you know that even if a small child gets active TB they cannot spread it because their coughs and sneezes aren't strong enough. I feel much better aout it all, even if she ends up positive next time.

well...I hope that's good news.  Odd that you'd get different diagnoses though!  Definitely have it checked again in a month!

good news but still have to re-test. she was showing off her"shots" to the little girls at ballet yesterday. too funny. very proud of herself, my brave girl.

hopefully the next test will be negative but it's still a worrying months wait.

Will keep praying for her and that the next results are a big fat negative!

That's scary and I'd be pissed that they scared you like that. I'm glad everything turned out alright!
