I baby sit for a friends 2 year old sometimes. Tonight, the baby broke out in welts and has a small fever and runny nose, etc...my husband has had the middle of his face removed including the forehead, nose, upper palate and top lip. Is what Charley Jo has contagious? What could be wrong with her? Her Mom said that 2 nurse friends told her it looks viral. I am not sure what to do. I do not want to cause Donnie and risk... what should I do?
Your husband is most at risk with bacterial infections. Viral respiratory illnesses do not tend to invade the skin or subcutaneous tissue (although a rash can occur from a different mechanism than viral invasion). It does sound like your baby has a viral illness and is likely contagious so to minimize stress to your husband I suggest she be kept away from him until she is well.  Whether he had this surgery or not he could catch a virus from her, but the surgery does not increase his risk for serious complications if he does.
