HOW DO YOU SPELL PNUEMONIA?

I suppose it doesn't matter all that much that I know how to spell it, just that I know how to treat it. Max came down with a fever of 101 on Thursday evening. I called the doctor on Friday and they wanted me to bring him in. So we did and he saw the PA on call since Max's doctor was out. He said to keep an eye on it and to watch the cough that he had as well. Well, we decided to watch him Friday night rather than going to my mom's as orginally planned. Last night he woke up with a fever of 103 and we were quite nervous. Thanks to some spiritual promptings, we decided to turn the car around and go back home just after starting out for my mom's this morning. We called the doctor again and they saw him right away this morning. After determining that it wasn't croup, and that his lungs sounded pretty normal,they wanted him to have a chest x-ray, just to rule out pnuemonia since he has been having a panting to his breathing. The x-rays confirmed that Max has the beginnings of pnuemonia. It is so hard to have your child be sick. He is so lathargic and his little eyes are all red and goopy. He doesn 't have an appetite at all and he just curls up on me and daddy and tries to get comfortable. Again, I'm just greatful for promptings and the blessings of access to doctors and modern medicine. Just another reason to be thankful...
