[GloriaLuvsMoto2 0]

hey Vj family! i was wondering what will happen to our petition (k1/k2) were done with our medical and i had the vaccines shot that i believe to be the sign that i passed with no further problems.. but the thing results cannot be released yet bec my daughter was subjected to Tb skin test and were hoping to get a negative result. As of now, she got a reaction to it and have a red bump on her arm. but im still hoping that the doctor would call it negative. Iam so stressed and been crying since bec i love my daughter so much and i wouldnt want to leave her behind but i feel sometimes that were running out of time bec my fiance will be deployed soon thats why were trying to beat the time. I dont know what to do as i feel so restless about our situation. Would this really be a reason to hold us back together? I understood not unless all is cleared with medical no interview will be made. or if shell be found to have inactive TB will my daughter be allowed to fly out of the country? pls help me. i need more info that could somehow make me calm abit. Cant stop crying im too worried. Pls help us pray that well make it out of this. God bless you all.

Everything about the future is uncertain but one thing is for sure,

God had already arranged all our tomorrows,

we just have to trust him as he leads..

a little redness and slight swelling is normal with the test, don't get worried about something that may be nothing just trust God will do what's best for you and your family.

"If there is little or no change to the spot on your arm, it usually means that TB germs have not entered your body. This is called a negative reading, and you will be given a TB clearance card.

If a bump about the size of a pencil eraser or bigger appears on your arm, this means that you probably are infected with TB germs. It is a positive reading, but it does not necessarily mean that you have TB disease. It is very important that you have other tests and/or a medical evaluation to see if TB disease is present."

as long as there is no bruise in the red swollen part it will be negative..

God bless you

i know the feeling, my son had positive skin test result but he was cleared after the xray. it was usually the reaction of BCG to kids, false positive. So stop crying and cheer up, everything will be fine...

Relax Gloria. The truth is, I was ready to cry when my daughter's skin test turned positive and she went for xray. But guess what? When I met all the other people there with kids - ALL of the had positive skin test results, that made me feel better. Turned out, she was cleared as her Xray turned out ok. Rest your mind.
