Crawling Pneumonia

Here he is playing with the curtains yesterday morning, fever and all.

Our little cub has Walking Pneumonia...or as the Doctor said, "In his case, Crawling Pneumonia." and then I said, "or Cruising Pneumonia." When she first checked on his breathing she said that he had "adenovirus" which is a virus that can infect the tissue linings in all sorts of things like the respiratory tract, eyes, intestines and urinary tract. It can cause diarrhea too which he kinda has. Poor monkey. He's had a cough since Sunday and then got the fever on Wednesday at midnight. I took him to the doctor on Wednesday and when she listened to his wheezy lungs and then did a nebulizer and listened again she said that he has a small patch of pneumonia in his right lung. So, we're trying to get on that beast early and kick it out of his little body. He's been fairly chipper through it all; he's a strong boy. The Doc said that she usually sees a spike in adenoviruses just after Memorial Day because the weather usually gets nicer and kids start going to the pool! That's exactly what we've been doing. So, the culprit is the YMCA pool! Anyways. Send us good healing vibes so we can get the cub growling again. He had a sleepy day with his Pa yesterday and he'll be home again with Mike in the earlier part of the day today and I'll take over around one in the afternoon. I will keep you abreast of his health.
