Athlete with Mono

My non-contact sport daughter has been diagnosed with mono. She hasn’t missed any practice or competition, and has actually been playing well. Now that she has the diagnosis, obviously she is out for awhile. Anyone familiar with this situation and how long it may last? I would like to know if the season is over.

I think your doctor would know better than anyone here. Teens are often hit hard with mono. I’d guess yes, if the season has begun it would be very difficult to regain the strength needed to not only participate, but to catch up again.

Have her talk to the coach and see if she can get a medical redshirt, this will eliminate the pressure of trying to come back too soon.
