Sick weekend

Thursday DS started coughing in the afternoon. That night he was fine. The following morning he woke up with a 101 fever. That progressed into a 103 fever. The cough also became very "barky" sounding, which i knew wasn't so good. During this whole time he was his usual pleasant self, although he took more breaks while he was playing.

Saturday DH took him to the dr as i was working. They did some chest xrays and various things (during which he was wonderful i was told) and he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. They prescribed antibiotics and now 36 hours lately his fever i think has finally run its course but his cough is still NASTY sounding and his nose is running CONSTANTLY but at least it's clear.

Last night as i was trying to go to sleep, he started calling out for me. I went to him and laid with him on the couch for a little bit and patted his back to try to keep his cough from getting stuck in his throat. I eventually sat with him on the floor of the bathroom with the hot water in the shower running full blast. I spent the night on the floor of his room because everytime i walked out of his room he would cry pitifully. It wasn't the most pleasant night, but we've had worse and i'm hoping tonight is better.
