mono

Kyle has come down with mono. Yes, the kissing disease. He insists that he hasn't been kissing but......... This is our first experience with mono and it is not pretty...at all. He is so tired he can barely stay awake, his throat is so swollen and sore he cannot swallow. We ended up in the ER yesterday. They put him on two IV bags and gave him steriods via the IV to help with the swelling. He was feeling better last night and ate some pancakes this morning. Hopefully he is on the mend.

On the fur baby side, Satchel is still away at boarding school. The reports have been that he is a social butterfly, very stubborn and wants to do things his way. We are missing him horribly and this had better be worth having him away for so long. He has been there for one week and has two more weeks to go. I have threatened several times to go there and kidnap him. I am so torn between my wanting him here at home and yet wanting him to be properly trained. If I am like this with him being away how in the world am I going to handle it when Kyle goes to boot camp.
