On Saturday night while at Rita's we noticed something when Kennedy was getting in the shower - she was covered with hives. She seemed to feel alright and hadn't complained, but she had hives on most of her body. We gave her some Benadryl, waited a while, and then she went to bed. She seemed to be hot and cold all night when she slept and when she got up in the morning she was covered from head to toe in hives. She also was now complaining of a stomach ache. We took her into the ER and after three tries with the IV, some blood work, and a strep screen, found out she has Mono!!! Crazy! Her activity level really was pretty normal, but she had very swollen glands. They gave her a steroid, more benadryl, and a shot of epinephrine. Her hives went away for the day, but the doctor said they would probably come back.
(The pictures were taken when the hives were NOT so bad!)
