That's good to hear.

That being said of course - now I wonder, DOES your sister have herpes, or
not? I mean, you said she did and of course we took you at your word, but
I personally had assumed you knew she had received a proper diagnosis of
herpes from a physician. If you know for a fact that your sister has
herpes, you should make sure the pediatrician understands that too. I had
a friend in college who had recurrent herpes on her distal thigh area
(kind of near her knee), it was definitely herpes, she had it cultured and
everything.
