On Christmas eve the family finally received a call from the hospital. The results were in, unforgettably the news would change their life even more. It had been discovered that Ellie had some how developed HSV-1 all over her organs. HSV-1 is herpes simplex virus, and there are two types the first type was oral herpes, and the second is genital herpes.
The news left the family very confused, especially how that's even possible. The only logical thing it came from a cold sore. It was also known that the father has had cold sores in the past and even had cold sore during the birth and after they got home.
After a while of crossing stuff off a possibility list, the family was still trying to figure out how she would've got it. They still don't know the answer how, but honestly they didn't know that babies can get the virus that easily.
