Infectious Mononucleosis

a.k.a. mono...

Guess who has this?! Miss Abigail. It's true, even 5-year-olds can get mono. After a week of Abby not acting quite like herself, having a couple fevers, laying around, saying "I'm tired," and crying one morning that her throat hurts so bad, a finger prick blood test diagnosed her with mono. The good news: she can still go to school and be a normal kid! Just don't share saliva with her! Amazingly, this viral infection is not very contagious. We can expect this to last 2-8 more weeks (kind of a big range!). So, pray that my big girl gets healthy again quickly and the rest of us steer clear of it.
