So Parker has pneumonia and staph infection.

[LenaGardner]

:(:(:(

It snuck up on him too. He JUST had a well baby check, literally days ago, and was fine. Then he got a cold...but I wasn't nearly as concerned about the cold as I was the 103 fever he ran for 4 days following the immunizations...I know it's normal but still stunk.

Then the cold moved to his throat, I could hear him getting hoarse. So we've been running a cool mist humidifier with Vicks in it for 3 nights now and last night it didn't even take the edge off. So I take him in today and after xays and cultures, have an answer...he's got lower right lobe pneumonia and a little staph infection on his bottom. (that was also not there a few days ago).

He is on a megabiotic, and breathing treatments, and a cream for his bottom.

I hope he sleeps better tonight :wub:

here he was a few moments ago: (me with hospital bracelet still on)

HUGS Lena, hope he gets some rest tonight. I had the same thing happen when DS2 was 6 months old and after 1 round of anitibiotics he was like a new kid!!!

[sprauncey1]

He looks like he's doing good with the breathing treatments, I tried once with Evan and he screamed for an hour! Hope you get some relief soon, it seems like one thing after another these last couple of months! Kyle had a cold and a fever and ended up with a double ear infection. Just that time of year!!! Feel better Parker!!

[jsikardi]

absolutely heartbreaking isn't it???

My newborn was born with pneumonia, then developed a staph infection while still in the hospital - it's so scary when they are so little.

Big hugs!

[Priscilla]

[jomi]

I am sorry to hear this! Hope your little guy feels better fast!

[SaraAmarie]

Poor lil cutie! Hope he is feeling himself quickly!

Every time I would take my girls to their well child check-ups they would get sick.. it was so frustrating! So I quit taking them after my youngest was 1.5 years and we have had much more well time. Shh don't tell. lol

[amystoffel]

:( I just saw this. I hope your little bubba is better soon. P&PT's for you.

[CA Dreamer]

Lena, How is the little man doing today? I hope the antibiotics are starting to help and he feels better soon. Poor little guy has had it rough the past few weeks!

[lovely1m]

aww, poor guy! I hope he heals up fast.

[LenaGardner]

Lena, How is the little man doing today? I hope the antibiotics are starting to help and he feels better soon. Poor little guy has had it rough the past few weeks!

Well he slept in this morning (the albuterol made him jittery last night and he didn't get to bed at normal time) and he seems to be feeling a little better this morning! Thanks for asking!

[Paula]

Sleep is a good thing!! I'm glad to hear that he's sleeping! Albuterol makes me jumpy and I'm 42, I can't imagine how it is for a little guy!

[Teresa]

OMGosh, Lena- your poor little guy!!! :( I hope he's all better very soon!

My niece was just diagnosed yesterday with RSV...they have her on a nebulizer too, but she wouldn't tolerate the one like Parker has, she has a pacifier one (genius!).

My heart goes out to you!!

[pbumbaca]

OH NO! Poor Parker! Hope he feels better soon!

[Jennifer]

:( Awww...hope he feels better super quick!!!
