In addition to everything I mentioned in my previous post, I have been feeling overwhelmingly tired this week. I assumed it was just an adjustment to the "back-to-school" activities...but when I started to develop other symptoms, I decided I needed to go see the doctor. So, Nolan and I went this morning and they took some blood and sent it off to the lab.
I got a call a few minutes ago from the doctor and she said I had tested positive for Mono. I almost dropped the phone - this will be my 5th time!! Because of my frequency with the disease, she asked me to come back in first thing Monday morning for some more testing...and she will also be referring me to an Auto-Immune Specialist for follow up. On Monday, they will be checking my white and red blood cell counts. She informed me that the white count being off and the positive diagnosis of mono could be an indicator for some form of lymphoma or leukemia (not exactly what I wanted to hear).
So, we are asking for your prayers once again - that the Lord will give me the strength I need to keep up with my kids and care for them while battling this illness AND that He will give wisdom to the doctors as we continue to search for answers! I am now even more looking forward to that new body God has promised us - because I need it!!!
