Pneumonia

Maegan is doing much better after being hospitalized with pneumonia. She has had a cold with a cough for a couple of weeks, but started to get feverish on Wednesday night. By Thursday at day care, her fever was at 104.5, and her breathing was rapid. I took her to the doctor, who sent us to the emergency room for tests. The chest x-ray showed pneumonia, and they admitted her. We stayed 2 nights and she was released Saturday morning, having responded well to breathing treatments and i.v. antibiotics.
