Hi everyone.. its been quite awhile since I've posted here but I do still read semi-often. I hope you all dont mind me jumping back in in this way, but.. I'd like to ask for some prayers/happy thoughts/whatever you can send for my younger brother. He's 17 years old and lives with my parents about two hours away from me. He was admitted to the hospital today and promptly moved into the ICU. He was diagnosed with mono a week or so ago and I guess has gotten progressively worse. He's in a lot of pain and I guess not sleeping or eating well. They said something about his throat being very swollen and theyre afraid it could mess with his breathing. For now, I think he's okay (aside from in pain) but I'm worried. Last I heard they think it may be just a virus on top of the mono, but my mother, who gave me this information, isnt necessairly the most reliable when it comes to how serious something is, etc. Anyway, I'm worried and I just would like some positive vibes sent his way for a quick recovery. Thanks everyone.
