Hello @joyisjah,

I see that you are wondering how @shellr13 son is doing since last year. You mention replying by email. It is important to remember that posts on Mayo Clinic Connect are public, but should you choose to want to communicate privately with a member we recommend using the private message function by clicking on a member's username. If you are comfortable talking publicly, sharing your experiences and listening to others' experiences is what makes Connect valuable. We often don't feel like what we have to say is of value to others, but it is amazing what your experiences can mean to other members.

It is also important to remember that if you are replying by email, it still shows up in the public discussion, so I always recommend clicking on VIEW & REPLY to see the whole discussion on the website.

@joyisjah, if you are comfortable sharing with the group, are you experiencing symptoms of EBV? How are you managing them?
