Oh no!!!

So right after prom, Andrea started not feeling well.  She ran a fever on Sunday & Monday, so she stayed home from school.  Tuesday she felt better, and no fever, so she went to school.  Wednesday she is completely MISERABLE as soon as she gets up, so I take her to the doctor that afternoon.  One look at her and the doctor says she has strep throat.  UGH!!!  So we started antibiotics that day.  David & I went out of town for Friday and Saturday, and when I call home on Friday night, my mom says she thinks Andrea is worse and should go back to the doctor.  She took her in Saturday morning, and they said she has mono!  Oh man!

Mononucleosis

Of course, this is the weekend she is confirmed into the Catholic Church.  A big deal, so say the least!  She rested and rested to be ready for those two hours on Sunday.  She got up this morning proclaiming to be feeling better, but I thought she was still pretty pale.  Let's not push it!  She got dressed, and looking very pretty, off we went to church.

Andrea and her sponsor/Godmother Tammy.

We were halfway through the service, and Andrea, her classmates and their sponsors were sitting towards the front of the church.  I took a peek at at her and noticed she had turned a horrid shade of grey!  I just knew she was going to faint.  Luckily, Tammy knew she wasn't feeling well, and was right next to her.  She grabbed her and made her sit down.  Tammy got Andrea to get her head down, and that seemed to do the trick.  David checked on her a few minutes later, and she was still really pale, but wasn't seeing spots anymore.  Yikes!  Made me realize if that's what an hour and a half of church did to her, imagine a day of school!  So much to her dismay, she will NOT being going to school tomorrow.  She goes back to the doctor on Tuesday for a blood test, and we'll get a doctor's note for the school.  Guess who's not doing P.E. for the rest of the school year?
