Pneumonia Revisited

My baby girl woke up with full blown bacterial pneumonia this morning…like, completely out of the blue!! It only took a couple of hours (and a vomit bath, tmi) to know that I was going to have to make a trip to Brenner’s.

Then they gave her a supercharged antibiotic via IV…she did sooo good!

After x-rays showed definite pneumonia and no improvement after 4 breathing treatments and a steroid pill, they admitted us. So, we’re currently camping out at Baptist getting breathing treatments every 2 hours and an IV for fluids and more antibiotics.  Update tomorrow.
