You are kidding, right?

I haven't been feeling good for the last couple of days. I assumed it was just a cold or my nerves over David's job change. I have been coughing at night and feeling kinda tired. No big deal, right?Well this morning on my way to take Michael to school, I notice this rash around his eyes. He goes on to tell me that he has it on his neck, belly, legs, arms, and hand. So I turn back around and head home to put on some clothes. I had worn my p.j.s because I planned to go back home and sleep. I called our pediatrician because Zack already had an appointment today at 1. But they were unable to see Michael today. So off we go to my dr. I thought well since I am here, I will see her and get something for this cough. She looks Michael over and says that it is probably poison oak or ivy. She wants to give him a shot. He immediately breaks down in tears. We decided he would just take some medicine. She looks at my throat and ears, and then she feels my glands on my neck. She looks at me with a puzzled look on her face and asks me if Zack has Mono. My husband had gone to see her last week and evidently had told her about Zack. I respond with yes and she says I think you may have it too. WHAT???? NO!!!!!! I do not have the time or patience to deal with this Mono virus the way Zack has had to. She sticks my finger and in less than 2 minutes, she comes back in and says it's POSITIVE. Michael cracks up and calls me Mono Woman and swears he's never giving me a kiss again. So here Zack and I sit with Mono. Mono boy and Mono woman, I guess. I hope that I recover much faster than Zack has.


Update on Zack: Dr. Purvis tells us today that Zack' spleen is really sick and he should stay out of school until after spring break. He is so mad. Pray that we both kick this Mono critter fast.
