Mono????

So, Ivy has not been feeling good all weekend. A monday morning trip to the doctor was in order, so off we go. The nurse takes one look at her throat and says, "whoa, those tonsils are ginormous!" They are so big even the Dr did a double take. Then he felt her glands, another whoa was in order. He said she has Mono glands. Oh boy. He warned me that the test is not reliable (does that seem strange in this day and age???) and even if it is negative she probably still has Mono. A 5 year old with Mono. Could my life get any more complicated? (NO I did not just ask that!) So of course Ivy's strep test and Mono test were both negative. What on earth do you do with a 5 year old who has mono. I think it will be along week!
