Jul. 26, 2008 - The "SATURDAY MORNING POST" -- Update on dd
Still no word from the doctor's office. One person said it can take two weeks for mono results to come back. Another said 5 minutes. I am going to quit paying attention to those kinds of comments because I have enough on my mind without getting conflicting information. We will just have to 
until they call us.
DD is still resting a lot, though not doing much actual 
during the daytime hours. She usually "comes to life" for about 3-4 hours in the evening. Since that is around the time dh comes home, he doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with her. 
Perhaps when he is home tomorrow, he will see that we really aren't 
and jut making it up.
She was up more yesterday than she was on Wednesday and Thursday, but still very lethargic. Basically sits and draws or lies down and watches TV. We also bought some vitamins in liquid form from the health food store. Those may be contributing to the slight changes we are seeing in her. The vitamins cost around $60 for the two bottles dh purchased. 
(Mary, I guess that one won't work for a TT thread, will it?) 
OTOH, if they help dd feel much better, and shorten the length of whatever her illness is, then it will be worth it. 
Above all else, 
. Thank you to all of you who take time from your busy schedules to check on us, but most of all, thank you for your prayers.
Specific prayer requests:
1. That dd regains her strength quickly and her body completely heals.
2. That whatever this is, it will be minor with no lasting complications.
3. For my sanity. I'm beginning to go a little stir crazy. 
4. That my back will not end up going out since I'm not working out at the Y right now. It is beginning to feel a bit tender, for lack of a better word. The last thing we need is for me to be flat on my back for several days. 
5. For all of us to find our strength in the Lord and not allow a spirit of heaviness to take root.

Praying that your daughter will be feeling better soon.
The pediatrician ran a mono test on our two daughters a couple of years ago, and the test said that they had both had it, with one still recovering from it. We had no idea that when they were sick, it was with mono. Their symptoms were milder than your daughter's. I had mono when I was a teenager. I was out of school for three weeks.
