thought that it was related to her panocolitis and IBS and thought it was time for her treatments. We went to the dr. on the 18 and she has mono. So she was to be on bed rest for 2 weeks. by the 20 she had a severe sore throat, fevers of 102 to 104, and she could not swallow liguids We went to ER and they pumped her with fluids and said there was nothing else to do, but rest. Two days later she was not any better but worse went back to ER. Pumbed her with fluids and sent her home. Three days later when she is trowing up and not getting better, but worse I took her to the clinic. Finally her dr, said to put her in the hospital. I have been off work all this week. They are running test after test and she had an enlargered liver and spleen. On Top of that she had a heart rate of 130 to 140. Most of her blood work is abnormal and she is in severe pain. They stopped all her regular meds and have put her on prednisone. Today is the first day she has been able to swallow and actually eat a little something. Please pray that her health continues to increase. Not all the test results are back yet. especially the heart tests they did, (echo cardiogram) and blood work. Maybe things will look better tomorrow. I am falling to pieces every night worried she won't come through this illness. Cindy B
