Pneumonia~ Who would have ever thought?

I still can't believe Tay had pneumonia this week.

Monday night she had a really low grade fever and she wasn't acting like her crazy happy self, but I assumed she would be better in the morning. And so she was. She went on to school Tuesday morning, but I told her teachers to call me if she starts feeling bad. Sure enough about 3:00 they called and said she hadn't left their laps since lunch time. Awh...poor baby didn't feel good at all. She went to bed pretty early that night and about 11:00 she comes in our room ON FIRE! She was so hot. Her temperature was at 104. We put her in a warm bath, gave her tylenol (well a generic brand), put a rag on her forehead and she still never got under 103. The last time I took her temperature was at 7:00 that Wednesday morning and it was still at 103!!. Got her to the doctor about 9 and he said it wasn't her ears this time. He wanted to do a chest x-ray b/c there was a lot of congestion plus she still had a high temperature. X-rays came back showing she had pneumonia! Who would had ever thought that? He said it wasn't real real bad and wanted to keep her out of the hospital if he could. They gave her shot and put her on an antibiotic. Once we got home she slept ALL day! And she was so weak. I had never seen her this sick before. We stayed home yesterday as well and by last night she was starting to come around. This morning, OMG, she was wild as ever! I knew she was back to her crazy happy self! Thanks Dr. Hudson! Now if we can just get rid of that cough!
