My daughter was diagnosed two days ago and rush starts in 2 weeks. It’s possible she’ll be recovered. It’s also possible she’ll still feel rotten occasionally, exhaust easily and have occasional fevers.
I’ve consulted two doctors and they both say she can go to college and participate in rush as long as she takes it easy when she needs to in order to prevent a relapse.
As far as her being contagious, both doctors say as long as basic hygiene is observed (no drinking or eating after each other), the other girls, including her roommate, will be fine.
- Should I let the recruitment folks know?
- Is there a chance they won’t let her rush?
- Is it possible to make accommodations for her – try to get her out of the heat, find her a place to rest when not at a party, etc.
Knowing her, I think she’ll be able to be “on” when she needs to be during parties, but I do worry about the heat zapping whatever strength she has.
Any advice is welcome. This is uncharted territory for us and we don't know what to expect. I am in a sorority and remember how intense and exhausting rush is. The mono part is a real monkey wrench.
