CMV-EBV...THE VIRUSES...

The pictures below are of the 2 viruses the oldest MAY HAVE. The lab work is not back yet. She was released last night with strict orders to stay in bed for 1 week. She will go back to the Dr. on Monday after having her liver function tests re-checked. The first one may be Epstein-Barr Virus (the virus that causes mono) Which apparently most of us have had by age 40. The second one is cytomegalovirus which is very similar. The thing we have to make sure is that she lay low, stay hydrated and repeat her labs.

The great thing about being friends with Isaiah's mom is that she knew exactly what the problem was since she is an EXPERT on the liver with all Isaiah has been through-she helped ease my mind.

Thank you all for your love, care and prayers! And thank you to my parents for rushing to my side to help while The Captain is away. The oldest REFUSED any photos at this time on the blog-I don't blame her.

PS-I enjoyed reading (for the first time in a while) and almost finished "THERE'S NO ME WITHOUT YOU." EXCELLENT READ! Makes me want to board a plane to ETHIOPIA RIGHT NOW!
