We have lovingly been calling him our little lemon for a while... and once again he has not surprized us and has been diagnosed with Mono. This is actually great news becuase Bennett had some pretty scary tests lately and Mono was the unlikely best case scenario.
He had some screening done last week at his check up that showed he had an enlarged spleen. Although you don't absolutely need your spleen, which is what I was thinking at the time, it is important and worrisome that the spleen would enlarge. The doctors at Childrens and his local pediatrician did some tests and today we got the results that it is Mono. Other unlikely but super scary possiblities were blood diseases or Leukemia.
Thankfully he HAD the virus. It isnt active any longer and our pediatrician swore he is not contagious. There is no way to tell when he had it because kiddos this young rarely have symptoms. So, it gives us a definate answer to the enlarged spleen which is a sigh of relief for a once again VERY worried mama.
We couldn't love our little lemon more, and we are happy he is "healthy" once again :)
