sunday sept 4th joshys worst day ever :(

What a day! It started at 3 am with joshy throwing up! He continuously threw up and looked pale and weak and tiny. His temp at 4 was 102.4 and he couldn't keep anything down so we took him to the E.R. where they gave him Zofran for the nausea which he threw up so a little while later they gave him more. Once he finally stopped throwing up and his fever had lowered they took a chest x-ray. And did a strep test. Strep test neg. fluid in his lungs. He has pneumonia. He slept for about 3 hours woke up asked for water and immediately threw up his fever was back up 102.9! He was stripped down to his unners and an i v was put in his little arm. He finally started doing better after he drained 1.5 I.V. bags. We were allowed to take him home this evening at about 6 and he has done well so far, he had soup and some fluids and has kept it down but he still has the I.V. in and a splint to keep his arm straight and we'll go back tomorrow to either have it removed or have him admitted to the hospital for 24 hour surveillance depending on how tonight goes. I will post pics later i just wanted to get this quick post up. And now it is time for sleep.

O no! O poor joshy. I can't believe you stayed at the hospital all day and might have to go back. That is so sad. Poor baby. Please post an update. I hope he is ok.

Yikes! Super scary! So sorry for Joshy! My boys love to get pneumonia and we've done this exact trip (minus the big hair) a couple of times. Hope he is on the mend fast!
