What?! Pneumonia?!

Don't people only get that in the winter when it's cold? Apparently not. Winter and spring are when kids are most susceptible and that includes our little Liam. :( He's had a fever since last Friday, then developed a horrible cough which we found out at a Dr visit yesterday has developed into pneumonia. So now we are (hopefully) on the road to a speedy recovery armed with antibiotics, Fever-All suppositories, and an albuterol inhaler and mask.

He is such a trooper and has been in good spirits through it all, so long as he has episodes of the Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on tap via the DVR. My biggest problem has been occupying Isaiah and Mikey, since we are pretty much holed up at home during their first week of summer vacation. Poor guys...Thank heaven for Redbox and microwavable popcorn.

All I can do is be thankful for modern medicine, pray to my Mom for strength and guidance (she hasn't failed me once) and keep in mind that this too shall pass....
