(today, playing in the red mud, in the rain)So I sent him to school day after day with a cough, thinking it was allergies/asthma. I even told his teacher that if he did not sound any better by the weekend I would take him in to see the Dr. sometime next week.
Imagine my surprise when I got a call Wednesday from the school nurse saying he was running a fever.
Imagine my greater surprise after making an appointment and finding out the Dr. wanted chest x-rays.
Imagine an even bigger surprise (along with a big dose of guilt) when he is diagnosed with pneumonia.
You just never know with this one.
He was given a big bad shot. (So big and bad he could not walk.)
Now he has extra breathing treatments.
And enough doses of medicine that I feel the need to write them all down and check them off to keep track.
He still sounds the same.
And he is still acting the same.Like I said, you just never know with this one.

Bummer! There goes that medical again......
Oh, bless him. That explains why I didn't see you the past few days picking up after school..... :(
Wow, he must be a trooper. Don't feel bad he probably just thought it was normal, too.
Oh man! I'm glad the doctor caught it. Join me in the best mom of the year award, I missed it with one of ours, too.
Hope he feels better soon!
And dont worry about the best mom award, I have done it too! Let DD cough for 3 weeks until she had a fever, took her to the doc and she had pneumonia. And THEN somehow let her fall in the pool 3 days later and she got an ear infection too!
Isn't that the worst feeling. Hope he starts feeling better soon.
That little sweetie is high maintenance. Plus, he is not a very big complainer.
I won the title with Maddy's tonsils last winter. She told me she was having trouble breathing. Well, it's because she had 2 boulders blocking her airway.
Oh no! I hope he's feeling 100% soon. Jake got pneumonia out of the blue a couple weeks ago! Very weird.
