oooh Poor kid! Hope he's feeling better very soon.

My mom got Mono once when she was in her 40's. It took them two rounds of lab work to find out what was wrong with her. It kicked her butt and took almost a year to fully feel up to par again even with treatment.

He is feeling mostly better. He gets tired really easily and is terribly grouchy all of the time but his fevers are gone, so that is something

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

What is momo exactly? I've never heard of that....

Get well soon Austin

You might know it as glandular fever? It is basically a viral sickness that makes you feel sick for a couple of weeks and then zaps you of all energy for up to a month or two. It isn't particularly dangerous but there is no treatment other than rest so it isn't fun to have.
I had always heard of it called the "kissing disease" because it is sometimes passed around schools through the exchange of saliva.

Sirrahsim, how is your son feeling? More prayers and good thoughts!

Poor Austin, but I'm glad to hear he's feeling better!

I had mono when I was 18, and never before in my life I felt that ill! Had to stay in bed for four weeks, I was really sick.
