To let you know I am still alive. It's been a rough week. We are getting snowed in as I type. I can say that I am looking forward to staying in my jammies all day tomorrow and hanging with the kids. :) It's been a vacation week and we have been busy.
I spent 4 ours battling the weather today. Our dear boy has pneumonia again. Yup, Trevor. The poor kid.
I noticed Wednesday, when we went rollerskating, that his chest sounded tight. I let it go hoping it was just the humidity of the place. His cough got worse. I couldn't convince him to do a nebulizer yesterday and honestly, if he won't do it right it's just wasting the meds that cost us lots of money. So I let it go....until today. He sounded horrible and after being up for less than 10 minutes this morning I decided he needed to be seen.
She listened to him and said there was so much wheezing going on that he needed a neb before she could send us on our way because she can't hear his lungs over the wheezing. They made him have a neb. He did it, although he was very unhappy we wouldn't let him have just an inhaler. She came back and listened and her exact words were "I can't believe how sick he gets in such a short amount of time. He has pneumonia in his left lung" {{{sigh}}} I told her I had a feeling and that when I called this morning they tried to give me to a nurse and I had to insist on an appointment with the secretary. She said that "you have never been wrong and there is no need for you to speak to a nurse when it comes to him and pneumonia". So we walked up front to get his prescription and she told the receptionists..."she knows when he has pneumonia, just give her an appointment" :) That made me feel really good.
I am not a neurotic mom. I know my child. It's instinct with him. He gets it so fast and it's not like this is something new. We have been dealing with this since he was 3 months old.
So Jammie day tomorrow. I can't wait.:)
