Good, Good news.

I read somewhere that worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but you get no where.

That was the definition of my week, I went "no-where" fast.

Last week, Zach had his 4th episode of tonsillitis. The doctor said he thought there was another underlying problem, since his spleen was enlarged. We went to the lab, and let them do all kinds of test.

On Thursday the doctor said the Mono test had come back negative, so he was sending the blood to another lab.

I was standing in the middle of Walmart when when he called, and I heard something about white blood cells, protein levels... and worst case scenario of Leukemia.

The doctor still believed he had mono, but he wanted them to run the test again. And I shouldn't worry until he finds out more answers with the results he expected on Tuesday.

I didn't remember much after the bombshell he dropped on me. And I figured I would do enough worrying for both of us, and there was no reason to ruin John's weekend. So I couldn't even think about it... yeah right.

I have been praying so hard, my fingers are cramping...

On our way home from the funeral service today for Grandma Juanita, I got the call from the doctor.

Good News. Zach has was positive for mono... and nothing else. The doctor wants to wait for the surgery, and other than all of us being exposed to one nasty virus... he'll be fine.

John has watched me cry all weekend over some really crazy things... but on the car ride home... I finally confessed how worried I've been. I thank God that we got a positive outcome, because I don't know how I would have handled anything else.

Now I feel like celebrating, I wonder if there are any firework shows tonight? Maybe I will have to settle for a beer instead!

I will celebrate MONO with you!! That is just like a DR. to tell you "not to worry" that's like telling you not to breath! I can't believe you didn't tell John... was he mad at you once you confessed???
Hope the little one feels better, and hope the rest of you don't catch that bug !!!!!

OMG!!!!! I hate it when the Dr. has to tell you the worst case scenario.... Why can't they wait until all the test are in..... I am thankful that it is only Mono..... Isn't it crazy that if he would have had just said mono you would have been upset over that but when they tell you other things mono seems like a blessing?
Anyway I bet you didn't need real fireworks because you had your own going on......The beer yes......"Cheers"...........
Sorry to hear about your Grandma Juanita... It is always so hard to deal with the loss of anyone you are close to.....
I hope the rest of the family doesn't catch the mono and Zach is on his way to recovery and feeling like his old self again.... Can't wait to see pictures of the boys room when you get it finished....
