Just spoke with her this morning - she sounds so much better! Her throat is not sore at all anymore - she does have a follow-up with the doctor this afternoon. She sounded very perky, and was off to class.

Hopefully she is going to be one of the lucky ones that has a short course of it.

Just FYI - don’t know if it made any difference at all, but when I first found out about her diagnosis, I did some research as to supplements that may help, and came up with mega-doses of Vit C, B-vitamins, and Zinc. So she is taking 4000 mg/day (divided) of Vit C, 2 of her B-complex vitamins, and has been using the Zinc lozenges several times a day, in addition to her one-a-day type vitamin.

Again, don’t know if it made any difference, but these are all vitamins that should be excreted if not needed, so I felt that it was worth a try. Food for thought…

I realize that the fatigue is going to linger a long time - again, anxious to get her home this weekend and see how she actually feels - she may crash and sleep for a week over spring break.

Thanks everyone!
