She is 8 years old, had blood work on Friday doctors office called today and said my husband and I both need to come to office tomorrow for doctor to discuss several results her blood work. She was diagnosed 21 months ago with cmv , her symptoms were swollen lymph nodes, and severe constipation. Upon testing the doc discovered her spleen was swollen.

Last Friday I took her in bc of rash ( was diagnosed as molluscum contagiosum ) and bc of the swollen nodes still lingering.she continues to have chronic constipation , fatigue, nausua, pale skin with red/purple bags under eyes, headaches... She is still a very active and appears to be a healthy child......
