I’m going to be quick, because I feel pretty bad, but just wanted to let you know that after taking a trip to Urgent Care tonight, I tested positive for the flu as well as mono.  Having one without the other is bad enough but, because of having both of them, the doctor says I have a 60% – 65% chance of needing to be admitted to the hospital to begin dealing with them together.  It all depends on what happens during the next 48 hours, specifically with my white blood cell count and fever.  I’ve had a shot tonight and start three prescriptions now that will hopefully attack it enough in the next 48 hours that it won’t be necessary for me to go to the hospital.

Once I take this medicine in the next few minutes, I’ll probably be pretty out of it so I just thought I’d mention what was going on.  If you’re the praying type, I’d really appreciate your prayers, especially over the next couple of days.  I need to be able to keep my medicine down and get liquids in, both of which are not looking too good right now.

I’ll check in again as soon as I feel up to writing.
