3 weeks ago, Sept. 30th Melissa started to not feel well. She stayed home that day and the next. The next week she didn't go to school at all. This past week she went half days. Ray or I would pick her up at 12:30. She has had a sore throat, little bit of a runny/stuffy nose and a low grade fever off/on. Mostly she has been tired! That first week she when she was home she slept all of the time! I have never seen her sick like that before. We took her to the doctor and recently got results back that she has mono! (I told her to quit kissing the boys... she didn't like that!!)
I'm missing her fun personality! She has been soo tired that that is all shes been doing. Going to school for just half of the day has worn her out and she has come home to sleep for a couple of hours. I think we're over the worse part, we just have to be careful to not wear her out. From what I understand about mono, the fatigue could last a couple of months!
Thank goodness the last couple of days we are starting to see her personality come back out. Shes been joking around w/ us, but still not up doing the dishes.... hmmm! I miss that too. I have realized what a good helper she is around the house!
We are going to Disneyland November 5th, so I hope she gets her strength back by then!

That's how Brett was about a year and a half ago. His problem was an untreated strep infection. It was months before he was himself again. Hope it doesn't take Melissa that long.
I had mono twice, actually, and it can take months to get back to normal. The most important thing is to rest as much as you can and not overdo it.
The second time I had it, at my performance review at work a couple of months later, my boss just said, "Don't get mono." :)
Hope Melissa is feeling better soon!
