....or not!

Well, the official results are in from Elysia's 3rd and final blood test on Monday - the one that actually tests positive or negative for Dengue. It actually came back negative, which means she simply had some other sort of nasty virus, which we will never know what exactly it was. There apparently are other viruses out there that give similar symptoms, and the only way to know for sure is by doing the blood test. So the good news is that she didn't have Dengue Fever. If you get it once and then get the exact same strand a 2nd time, it is much more dangerous. It's not one of those things where you get it once and then you're immune for the rest of your life. Elysia is doing quite well, as are the other two.
