The boy was sick all week and not getting better. We went to the pediatrician on Mon and Wed and they thought he would turn around in a matter of a day or two. Finally on Friday they sent us to the get x-rays, and that is when they saw the pneumonia. We went back to the pediatrician who said we should check him in to the hospital for observation.
We checked him into Chippenham last night. It was a bit rough watching them wire him up with oxygen and IV. But once settled in, we could tell that he was was comfortable. His fever was being controlled and he was breathing a bit easier.
They said he had "walking pneumonia" and all that should mean for us is that he was going to be on a specific antibiotic. So the goal now is to get the infection in his lungs controlled enough so he can breathe better and get home.
Thanks for your prayers. Please keep them coming!
