Summer Fun and Pneumonia
Well things have been busy so I haven't had a chance to post about recent happenings. We'll cover pneumonia first and then the fun stuff.
Graham developed some congestion last week and woke up with a cough Saturday morning. I called the pediatrician to see if we should be concerned, knowing they were only open until noon. They wanted to see him and then sent us to the ER for a chest xray because Graham was breathing a little fast. I debated about whether he actually needed to go to the ER ended up going. They did a chest xray and after a day spent with doctors decided he just had a cold and wanted to put him on some lasix in case there was some fluid in the lungs. Tuesday morning Graham woke up with a fever and his breathing was extremely fast. I gave him some tylenol and called the pediatrician who suspected pneumonia and told us to go back to the ER. They did another chest xray and it didn't look much different but decided that with the fever it was likely pneumonia and sent us home with another round of antibiotics (he was just on it a week ago for an ear infection). Graham is still congested and sounds like Darth Vader with emphysema. It is a challenge to get amoxicillon, lasix, acid reflux medicine, and tylenol in him. But overall he is doing ok. I took him back to the pediatrician today and he didn't have any concerns. He said he is not contagious but that he will probably have the congestion for a few more days.
We went to the Laneys for Memorial Day weekend and Graham and his cousin Hayes got in the pool! Graham wasn't so into it because he was ready for a nap but we got a few pics! And last weekend we took Graham to the neighborhood pool for the first time. I was skeptical that he would like the pool because the water was cold, but he tolerated it. Matt and I held him in the pool for a half hour or so.
