Dd is finishing up her 6th week with mono and no end in sight. She made it to school Monday and she had her mono recheck that afternoon. That night her fever hit again and it has been continuous ever since. She's been wicked weak and dizzy. She is going in to the drs. this afternoon again. And wow she showed me her spleen last night and that was the freakiest thing I have ever seen in my life! When we went Monday for her recheck they checked her iron levels again and of course that has plummetted as well. Dd talked them out of doing a full cbc (she passes out everytime) so they made her promise to take her vitamins and up her iron intake and come in for a retest the beginning of April. Another thing that freaked me out is her toenails are turning yellow. I know the liver can be affected and jaundice can occur but the whites of her eyes are still really white so I am hoping the yellow toe nails are from nail polish.
Since January 29th, she has been in school 5 full days and 2 half days - she has missed, including today, 15 days. Thankfully they had 3 snow days and 1 full week of vacation or that number would be even higher.
Just got an email from her English teacher - it looks like they will be dropping her from the honors english program. They are only allowed to miss one seminar before they are dropped from the program - she has missed 3 thus far and they have bent the rules up until now for her.
Ha, Great now I just got a phone call from the guidance counselor - a meeting is in my future with the school. This can't be good :(

How frightening. I guess we got lucky; we do the liver/spleen u/s followup next Thursday and hope it's going down. DS14 still has his tired bouts; he hasn't really done anything much with friends on weekends since Halloween, which is not like him (he's probaby gone to a friend's or to the movies a total of 5 times since then). Mono sure can be mean. My best to your dd.
