FINALLY....and end in sight

Well, the doctor came in this morning, and told us that he has EBV....now that is also the same virus that causes Mono. Now, I know what you're thinking....how does a 15 month old catch Mono...yeah, I don't know if that is what he has specifically, but it is the same virus, so the question that we have for the doctor is whether or not he will ever get Mono again, because my understanding is that once you get it, you don't get it again.

It's nice to finally have a diagnosis. The doctor was kind of suspicious that that is what it was when we brought him in because of the fact that he had had a fever for three weeks, but they just kept him here and ran all sorts of tests to rule EVERYTHING else out.

Thank you VERY much to all those who kept us in your prayers, and we ask that those prayers continue even after the diagnosis, as we aren't sure how long he is going to have this virus or what effects the antibiotics are going to have on him.

That is all for now. We are going to be going home tomorrow night or Tuesday morning.
