Eldest daughter had been feeling ill for over a week, but yesterday she had a golf ball size lump in her neck. Lauren was frozen and shaking and said the pain in her back and head was really hurting. Rang GP, receptionist said, "you'll have to ring back Monday"!!!!![V]

Lauren got worse as the evening went on so I took her to A+E, after loads of tests (blood, cardiogram etc)they diagnosed Glandular Fever.
She was put on a drip but is home today.

We go to Florida on Wednesday, doctor said it is OK as long as she rests. I'm just hoping no-one else comes down with it. I think I'll have to keep a mask on her on the plane.
