Now i have a very sick daughter, we suspect glandular fever, but the first test was negative and now we need to wait till next thursday for another one to be done, Melissa has been terribly unwell, and exhausted,she has all the symptons, just have to wait and see what the blood results show up, i have never seen my girl so sick, has been like this for nearly two weeks now, i remember my son having it ,but he was not quite so ill.

My son is going in on monday for biopsy to his arm, has had a horrible infection going on for over two months, not responding too well to antibiotics, so depending on that , he may need surgery to remove what could be a cyst, the doctor really is not sure.

So everyone if you could pass on some good vibes to my family i would appreciate it very much, i know PT always make me feel better at worrying times like these, thanks in advance.

Oh. Carole! Pittsburgh prayers and thoughts go out to you and Melissa and your son for his arm. I know what worrying about health issues is like. I'm not sure if you know this, but I now have a serious heart problem. It's called Atrial Fibrillation, which the top half of my heart doesn't beat right resulting in an irregular heartbeat. I'm on a blood thinner, Coumadin, where I have to worry about bleeding a lot. Again Carole, I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Carole, how worried you must be about your children. But we have missed you and I am glad that you stopped by to tell us what is going on in your life.

You have my prayers that all will soon be well with your children - but especially you!

Let me send you a large hug too......................

Oh, Carole, I'm sorry to hear of you and your family's health problems. Prayers and good thoughts on the way.

Just remembering how, many years ago, my son came off a motorbike and damaged his arm. His elbow was out of joint and he had what just seemed like a bad gash but some sort of infection set in - won't go into detail but it was vile - that just would not, despite treatment, heal. I remember the doctors saying it was some sort of blood infection. Even today you can see the hole/depression in the skin where it was.

I'm so sorry for you and your family Carol. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have never heard of glandular fever but it sounds awful and I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon

and I hope your son doesn't need surgery but if he does I hope it goes very well and he gets better quick.
