The tests are all in...

OK, So we found out last week that Andrew has "Mononucleosis", that is what the problem was. It makes so much sense! He was so exhausted by the rigorous schedule at the MTC that he would get to his next class and just want to curl up in a ball and cry. They thought that there was something "psychologically" wrong with him. This diagnosis explains A LOT! Well... The Dr. said if anyone else is having symptoms to come in to get tested. When I looked up the symptoms of Mono in my medical book I thought Uh Oh, I think that I had these symptoms first. So, I was tested last week. The Dr. called this evening and told me that I have a "full blown active case of Mono, again. Again?! I didn't know that I had ever had it. Apparently, I have and it is back, in full force. I just thought that I was getting old and tired :0), Even the Dr. said last week that he "doubts very seriously that I have Mono". I told him that I have never had the chicken pox, why not Mono? He couldn't believe that I had never had chicken pox so he tested me for that as well, it turns out that I have a natural immunity to chicken pox. Lucky me, I wish that I had a "natural immunity" to Mono. I have never been this exhausted in my life! Anyway, Andrew is a lot closer to "recovery" than I am (even though I had it first), Oh to be young again... Even though once you have Mono you always have it (it is the Epstein-Barr Virus). It can be "active or dormant" at different times in your life. We will have to wait and see what this means for Andrew, as far as serving his mission in the Dominican Republic. He may need to be re-assigned to a mission here in the states, we'll see. Until then, all we can do is rest, rest, rest (very easy for the Dr. to say, he needs to come here to do laundry and clean my house for me :0)
