THANK YOU so much for your input, I really appreciate it. I am leaning towards thinking the same thing - the rash is virtually gone now, and I'm only taking my meds at night. I will definitely check out the CDC site, just to see what they have to say. I take great comfort in hearing stories like yours, as well as knowing that they could deliver my son today with every expectation that he would be born healthy.

Again, thanks!!
