Hey all. I hope 2008 is treating everyone good so far.
2008 has been fun for us. We had a great first week of the New Year. The 2nd week wasn't so good. Everyone in the house got sick. We all got a stomach bug. It was not fun but we made it through and everyone was healthy again. David decided not to stay healthy though. He started running a fever this past week and the lymph node on the right side of his neck got very large. We took him to the doctors and they think he has MONO. His monocyte count is high but everything else looks good at this point. We are trying an antibiotic to see if we can shrink his gland and if it works then he has a lymph node infection instead of mono. but, if it doesn't work then we will be getting bloodwork done in 2 weeks to test for mono and a few other things. Hopefully just to rule them out. We hope the antibiotic works but we'll see. Other than that he has been great. He is starting to say more words. He told me "I Love You" last night. I was so excited.
Hannah is also doing great. She has learned how to write her full name (First, middle, and last). She does a great job at it too. We are so excited for her. Soon we'll have to stop spelling things in front of her because she understand us.
Aside from all the sickness we are all great. We are happy and things are fabulous. Take care and we'll keep you posted on what we find with David.
