Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Peggy, The Epstein Barr Virus must be getting around. I never heard of it until a few weeks ago when my daughter's best friend, and sister-in- law, , was diagnosed with it. She had been hospitalized for about a week and they said she also had Mono. was so terribly sick. I don't know if she had a rash or not, but I know they were very worried about her. She lost about 20 pounds and that was a lot of weight for a girl of only about 130 anyway. She is only 21 years old and she is a college student. From what I've been told she has missed practically this whole semester. I saw her for teh first time last Monday while I was visiting (my daughter). I couldn't believe how fragile she still looked. I was very careful to keep my distance from her, but I did spend the night in the same house! I am still recovering from another bout with pneumonia and still on Prednisone, so I know how careful I have to be. I hope your granddaughter's recovery is quick and that you get to see her soon.
