Down in the Dumps

Sadly to say, My son is getting worst. Momma checked his temp and he is running 102, so if its still going tomorrow we are taking him to the hopital again, we are afraid he may not have gotten completely over the pneumonia this past time he had it?
He is really hacking and stuffed up as well, seems worst than last time and it came on really fast as well....

We opened gifts at my parents before I ran him home, he is opening his there tomorrow with his half siblings as he didnt feel well enough to open any more tonight as he just wanted to go to sleep and that he did.

Sorry to read this, Sono! I sure hope he feels a least a bit better today!

Aw, so sad your son has been ill lately, Christmas has not been fun for him this year, plus the anxiety for you and his mom, sorry for all of you! Hope no more hospitalizations.
 
Poor kid. I hope he and you are able to have a better day today.

I wonder if your son is being expose to pneumonia at school , maybe someone has walking pneumonia and doesn't know it. Are there more kids at your son's school getting pneumonia . My granddaughter got sick from teacher and ended up with pneumonia too. I hope your son will get better very soon. Poor kid being sick on his vacation . :(
 
Momma texted me earlier, says he still has the fever. Motrin knocks it down then comes back once it wears off so she fears he has pnuemonia again? So I may be taking him to the hospital today when she drops him off on the way to work???
I will know more in a couple hours.

Yes, there is a lot of sick kids at school ( as he started to get sick over the weekend ) last day was last friday... so apparently a germy jumped on him then?
But we also think he may not have completely recovered from his first bout? So we want to get him checked and maybe get some antibodies in him an knock it before it gets worst

My daughter was telling there are some nasty germy going around , she saw it on facebook . I think the schools need to clean all the desk and doorknobs and any other items that kids touch like computers etc
after school each day during the flu and germy season .

I hope it not pneumonia again how long ago did he first get this ?

I think they are getting it from the drinking fountains... little ones always put their mouths on the faucets?

That could be it . Doorknobs have a lot germy too. When I was a health aide we told to use a paper towel to turn off the water after washing our hands and to use a paper towel to open the door, b/c the faucets and doorknobs had so many germs on them. I still do this when I use public restroom some people don't wash their hands after using the toilet ! GROSS !
 
Looks like we are heading to the hospital when momma gets off work tonight.
 
Sonocativo, I hope your son will be able to recover from the hospital soon. I am sorry this happen to your son being very sick and need to go into the hospital. What a bummer that he could not enjoy opening up his gifts for Christmas. I do hope he will get well soon. :(

Thanks, Im saddened by it all as well. Ive tried to get him in the mood and he just wants to sleep. It reminds me when I was 5-7 years old with the severe ear infections where I didnt want to do anything due to the pain. Ive slept through my birthday parties, and other holidays.... it hits too close to home with whats going on, and I hate to see him not feeling well.
He hasnt ate much the past couple days but he has been drinking plenty of fluids so that much is good, that he isnt dehydrated like last time. But the fever and severe coughing is worrying us all...
 
I still keep him in my prayers. I have a nightly prayer I recite each night, and while it's the same each night, there are different parts to it, and one part is asking God to keep all of us here on earth, especially those who need extra care, safe and comfortable. I guess I'd have to recite the whole prayer dialogue I have for that to make sense, but just know you and your family are included in those prayers. I've said many of these prayers over the last few days for many, including myself.
 
Update... We got to the hospital around 12am, and left around 630am.... He is in the early stages of Pneumonia, so we caught it early this time, got some meds and sent home. They said they cant tell if it was some left from the last bout that took hold and started again or if its a new round of it... regardless, we got the meds and caught it early before it has a change to get severe. He is soooo glad he didnt have to get admitted again and so are we. Hopefully he gets over it fully this go around.
Today its raining and will be for the next couple days, so we are just staying in and being lazy, Im up but him and momma are napping ( didnt want momma driving home while sleepy since she worked all night before we went to the hospital ) and its an hour drive to her house on the highway.
 
Oh, man, pneumonia again! :(

I hope it goes away completely this time.

I know that they recommend anti-pneumonia shots for old folks. Is that something that your son could also benefit from?
 
This is not the way I want us to find out about it but I, for one, so admire the way you and you wife are able to cooperate as parents. You might not do well living in the same house but you sure are working well together to take care of you son.

I dont know as there was no mentioning of it? Maybe its too strong for kiddos? We will ask when we go for a follow up in a week.
Luckily we caught it early this time, so he will be back at school when it resumes on the 5th.
He and Momma are still sleeping, I want to run around and buy some snacks but cant leave them here alone....lol
This rain is really hammering us today, heavy downpour all afternoon still
