PneumoniBLAH

Jackson and I think pneumonia should be called "pneumoniBLAH"

It is true, my poor little guy is sick. I am glad I took him in yesterday as I had no idea he was so sick. He'd had a cold about 10 days ago, then a fever starting about a week ago and his cough only got worse. I'd been giving him breathing treatments the whole week. Still, he has been more sick than this in the past, so I figured at the worst, he may have another sinus infection. And, in yet another move that nominates me for Mom of the Year, I boo-hoo'd him last week when he told me a handful of times that his heart hurt. Seriously! I brushed it off as heartburn, as he has been drinking a lot of orange juice. Ahh, mommy guilt is the best!
Anyway, he had two injections of an antibiotic yesterday at the doctor's office and is on antibiotics at home. We are praying his gut holds up and he does not get CDiff again. Remember, he had CDiff in January after being on antibiotics for a sinus infection. The doctor did not want to put him on an antibiotic for at least a year but we have no choice with the pneumonia. Blah! Add in my concern of Elizabeth getting sick, and I am a sanitizing freak!

I will admit that I had a good, exhausted cry last night in my car. I am so tired of doctors and the hospital and xrays. I just want a healthy household... and some sleep! Good thing Kaitlin is great and so are Walt and myself! Megan reminded me that because Liz gets sick so often with her medical issues, this just feels like a lot. I KNOW this will pass.

Here's to hoping Jackson is able to sleep at least a few hours tonight and he is better tomorrow. Pneumoniblah stinks!
