Teenage child number two went to the doctor today after missing two days of school and not feeling well. :
Doc called hubby at home while I was at work--He's got the kissing disease. Mono..........ick :-*
Teenage child number one had it about 3 years ago and was down for the count for about three months. He had a real time kicking it.
I also had scheduled a doc visit for hubby as he has a nasty red hot rash progressing on his arm. Doc was puzzled. Marked it's outline. Wants to see if it spreads or stays the same in a 24 hour period. :-?
I have been fearful with all this poking probing IV's surgeries irrigations that MRSA would appear in a new location. Doc said it's possible but he is on Bactrim right now so he is somewhat covered.
So I am still monitoring the fever which has been only low grade for the last 24 hours or so. I asked the doc if he was susceptible to contracting the mono if his immune system is low from all else happening. He said highly unlikely..........but as it has been said time and time again.......my husband is anything but a "textbook" patient. :
[smiley=bath.gif] I have been sanitizing mode since I got home. Broke out the plastic silverware for the kid and the plastic cups and threatened to cut his lips off if he drinks out of the containors of any of the beverages. Such a nasty habit but I catch them every once in a while >
