He wasn't getting better

Rhys hasn't been feeling good since before Christmas, he started out with a high fever and all last week he has been very weak with no energy. He looks so sad and pale. This morning he couldn't hear out of his one ear. I took him to the Dr. and he has a form of pneumonia and his right ear is infected. He is the first child in this family to have pneumonia, and was the first to have RSV. He should feel better after a few days on antibiotics, otherwise he has to go back in for a chest x-ray. Fingers crossed!

***In the car on the way to the dr's he told me his ear was ringing, I told him to answer it, but he wasn't in the mood for jokes. :(***

Poor, poor little man. He didn't look right on Christmas. How aweful he must feel. Fingers and toes crossed the medicine works fast and he gets back to normal soon.
Is pneumonia contagious?

I asked Dr. A. that, he said as long as he isn't kissing his siblings they should be okay. It's the way it hit Rhys, he had another boy in his office with the same thing/same day and all his siblings just had colds.

He is getting better now.

Thanks for the post. :)

I hope he is feeling better. Is is so difficult when they dont look right and it is difficult for them to communicate!
