Back in the hospital

It is amazing how fast Harper gets sick! Tuesday after he woke from his nap he was having a terrible time breathing. We were unable to get him in with the pediatrician's office so they sent us to Promed.
I HATE that place! They never seem to get things right. I guess it doesn't help that they sent me home with Ashton and his BROKEN FEMUR last year and told me it wasn't broken and he would forget that it hurt!
Needless to say, Tuesday they told me Harper did not have pneumonia and to go home. Yesterday he was doing better after I had given him updrafts every two hours for the last 24 hours. When he woke this morning we were right back where we started on Tuesday. He was having a terrible time breathing and was very wheezy. The pediatrician was able to get us right in and sure enough....he has pneumonia and we are back at the hospital. It looks like we will be here several days. No fun! He is already doing a little better but still very sick. My poor baby!!!

i have lived this senario before...multiple pneumonias...one after the other, never a clear chest xray....until we saw a pulmonologist, got diagnosed with asthma, and started some new medications.....then cured, except for the occasional asthma attack. Has he been diagnosed with asthma?

Thats what I have said day one that he has asthma. But you would think the doctors would have said something instead of letting him have his own wing at the hospital

you need to tell those freakin doctors that by golly you don't have a medical degree, but you sure do know when there is something wrong with your child!!! Les, like Rachel said you are going to have you own wing pretty soon there. Hollar if you need anything sweetie!
