Mono....Or Not Mono....

Elijah has been scaring us the last couple days because he has been sooo tired and cranky and not wanting to eat. It started a week ago, when I picked him up from school because his ear was hurting and he was vomiting. A few hours later, he felt better and I just passed it off as being maybe sunstroke. He has been playing okay, but he just gets wiped out so quick.

Last night I looked at his mouth and the right tonsil was pretty swollen and red. So I decided to call him into the doctor today. Fortunately, the doctor found a severe ear infection, which can be cleared by antibiotics. He also feels like his is combating possible strep throat. He did say to watch him over the weekend and if his energy level does not return, we have to take him in for blood work.

So please say some prayers that this is NOT mono and just a simple bacterial infection. THANK YOU! :)
