Robin update: disturbing photos

Here's how things looked Friday morning.

Notice the weird lesions in her skin folds:

Here's how she looked by the afternoon. Notice how the lesions had grown and darkened.

You can see some of the lesions on her side have started to coalesce.

I left the camera with Ashleigh at the hospital tonight, so you can't see her current state, but those target lesions have grown and spread, now her entire torso has coalesced so that there's just giant areas of lesions covering her entire trunk, and most of her arms and legs. She's miserable. She feels like shit, she's swollen, she itches and itches, and she's had a low fever now for three days.

Although there's lesions on her eyelids, still nothing in her eye (for some reason having lesions on your eyelids is fine (?!)), and nothing in her mouth or privates or other mucous membranes. But keep your fingers crossed -- moving to mucous membranes is apparently even more serious business.
