Our youngest daughter has been diagnosed with mono after a week of wondering what all her symptoms meant. Since a day before Thanksgiving she's had swollen eyelids, fevers, cold symptoms, sore throat, and nauseousness. She went to the ER this week with a 104.5 fever and after another visit to her PCP, we found out it's all due to mono. Mono can have up to an 8-week incubation period before symptoms appear. Her acute symptoms have diminished since yesterday. She's feeling much better! You can have the symptoms for about three weeks.

She's 18 and is attending college. She ran cross country and has been training for track. She'll be out of that until after the Christmas break.
