Oh my... I wish I had some suggestions, but I have never been through ringworm. I can offer many sympathies though.

Here are some links to earlier threads about ringworm...Lizzie, Reachoutrescue, ktlvskitties, Maya & Inka's Mommy, Sirrahbed, Noah's Mommy - they have all dealt with it. Just get a piece or two of paper, skim through these, and write things down.
(Someone did mention an expensive pill for it - but that might be the same one that is no longer sold for some reason).
HUGS!

Not fun!
Since there is always the possibility that you brought it out of Taz's room, the first thing I would suggest is to treat the other cats with Program pills. And just keep a watch for possible signs of it on them. (but adults are often not too susceptible to it.) I had over 15 cats exposed to my one foster with ringworm and only 2 ever showed symptoms.
After bathing Taz and/or putting cream onhis sore aras, wash with betadine. Soap and water will not kill the spores.
Just make sure to stick with the treatment/meds for the full 4 weeks.
You'll get through this. Many of us have.

Ditto on what Jen L. said.
Ringworm is a SPORE. It is AIRBORNE.
You, and the other kitties, did not have to touch Taz in order to get Ringworm.
This spread from room to room in our shelter. Some had it, some did not. Usually our immune suppressed kitties got it first and the worse. There is a spray that we also used on the shelter kitties to help with the affected area.
Definitely get the pill for the other two. It may be costly, but it will be worth it.
