Pneumonia SUCKS!

[faith194]

DS was diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday, after having super high temps for three days straight. Poor kid:( I feel so badly for him, and he is absolutely refusing his meds(he usually takes it with no issues). The x-ray techs told us that our little guy is so super strong, after failing to get a scan of his sinuses. I wanted to say, DUH! I hate holding him down in order to give him his medicines:( Bleh.

Sorry he's sick. I hope he feels better soon.

I'm sorry. Pneumonia sucks big time. DS had it when he was 14 months. It took him about 3 weeks to fully recover.

My 3 year old has pneumonia too. He hates the medicine so I tell him if he doesn't take it we will have to go to the hospital (which IS what the pedi said). Then he takes it.

I hope your LO is feeling better soon!

My 3 year old has it too, and the Z-pak doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

Aww, poor kiddo. I hope he feels better soon.

DS2 had pneumonia at 3 months old and it did suck. Do you have to give abuterol through the nebulizer?

No albuterol this time(we've used it for RSV and wheezing before). Last night sucked--None of us slept, because he was coughing so much. I called the pedi, and she that this is par for the course.

I was born with pneumonia(long story), and had it two other times before I turned 10 months. If a preemie can survive it, I am sure we can survive it! I am just not used to running on such little sleep. Thankfully, he is taking his meds fine now!
