We just got back from the ER
My daughter's condition took a bad turn at around 8PM. High fever, not breathing well.

She has pneumonia.

2. Me too.
She has had some strong IV antibiotics, so hopefully this will kick her bug right out.

39. My boss was out all last week with pneumonia. Thought he was
going to have to go to the hospital.

Sending good vibes your way, Kitchen Witch.

44. Thanks
I am actually surprised that Princess Bear (a nickname I have for my daughter) has pneumonia. I probably should not be, since she has asthma and is therefore more susceptible.

11. Is it just me, or does pneumonia seem more prevalent these days?
I personally know of at least two people that have had it in the last month. They're quite fine now, mind you.

43. It isn’t just you.
What seems to be happening is that people are experiencing allergies that act like colds and they don’t go away. If all that mucus goes to the lungs or sinuses, one is prime for an infection. I blame global climate change and pesticides.

Hope all will be well KW.

32. We have an HMO.
So far (since January this year) the insurance has been decent. It is better than the HMO we had last year.

49. I'm sorry Kitchy.
I just know your kiddo has the strength to beat this bug, because her mom is very cool and a fighter.
Those things are passed down genetically.
That, and the good vibes from all of us here at DU, will have her feeling better soon.
