Sorry no recipe or writerly stuff this week. My "baby" (18, almost 6-ft. tall, and real hairy) has been trying to shake off a case of mono for over a month. Long story short, he had a relapse with a vengence. High fever, aches, an almost-closed throat from swollen glands, and feeling just horrible all over, and like his head was on fire. He needed more help than a fever reducer and a steroid were giving him.
Being at the hospital in the pediatric ward has been nice. The IV of fluids and meds has brought his burning fever down, so he's finally feeling human again. As a bonus (and so no one will steal him or give him to the wrong mom...LOL), we have matching paper ID bracelets!
So, I'll see y'all next week. Until then, have a great weekend. Do something nice for someone in need...and also for yourself. :D *hugs*

I'm sorry to hear that Angie, but glad your son is now getting better.
Just a note, the nearly florescent blue on the post and make a comment are impossible for me to read. I had to squint and get really close to the screen to make it out.

Oh, how life takes over. Take good care of your boy, and how thankful we are he has you. No end of parenting in site for either of us, eh?
Take good care, Angie.
Oh Angie!!! You poor dear! And your boy...so sorry to hear. At least he's getting good treatment. Get him some video games. It'll distract him. ;)

They never quit being our babies in our hearts, do they? Reminds me of how God must feel about us...
Praying and believing for a speedy return to normalcy.

BIG HAIRY/COURT JESTER IS HOME AND DOING MUCH BETTER. :D
AND, YEAH, YOU CAN STAY IN THE PEDIATRIC FLOOR HERE TIL YOU'RE 21! WHEEE!
One of my coworkers has been going through something similar since mid-July...my advice to your son: if the doc says rest, R-E-S-T! That means quite literally doing nothing, no matter how hard that is. Then very slowly ramp up the activity level. And stay on the IV antibiotics as long as possible--they seem to work better than pills.
Ugh I got mono in highschool. When I had these serious bouts of fatigue and catching everything that came down the pike my doc told me. Mono leads to chronic fatigue syndrome.
I found one of the best ways to keep it at bay was to get the liquid vitamin Mangosteen juice. Not mango juice. It really really helps. Hope your baby(same age as mine) gets back on his feet soon.
