Mono

So, Tuesday morning after we get back from vacation, the whole family is going to the Pediatrician for flu shots, bright and early.  But when I went in to get Finn out from bed I notice he is burning hot.  So we head on into the doctor anyway and as we’re driving and he’s talking to me I think that he sounds funny.  Turns out that his tonsils were swollen and his glands were swollen along with the fever.  So doctor tests for mono….and over the next 3 days we are sequestered in the house until we get the results back…..positive…..Finnster has mono.  And not only are we sequestered to the house, it is also raining, like monsoon raining so we can’t even go play in the yard.  Stir crazy doesn’t even begin to describe!  But little dude also doesn’t have much energy to play, so its really momma that is going stir crazy versus the 2 year old!  But after a week I decide maybe we should get a movie, Finding Nemo specifically.  But Finding Nemo is actually quite an appropriate title as I cannot find this movie at Blockbuster, On Demand or Pay Per View.  But then our good friends say they have it and we can borrow it and she also gives us Madagascar.  So we put in Finding Nemo….and this is seriously a scary movie….I mean for Finn of course…..but every 5 minutes they are getting attacked by some scary sort of marine life.  Finn was not cool with this.  So I switched it over to Madagascar and life was much better.  Little dude is all better now and we resumed our usual activities this week, but he still wears out pretty quickly.
