Call in the clean-up crew

So by Monday Kaylee wasn't getting better and our ped was now on vacation for 2 weeks so we had to go see an on-call doctor at another practice. I dreaded it the whole way there because I love our doctor, but I was so impressed with this other practice that we actually may switch!! Anyway, Kaylee was very congested in her chest so this doctor sent us to the hospital for a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia. She also gave Kaylee a shot of antibiotic to cover her for 24 hours (in addition to the stuff she was already taking) and assured us she'd call the next day with the x-ray results. I was also very sick so this took a lot out of us. Fortunately John was able to get off of work early and meet us at the hospital for a little "after hours x-raying" which of course means that results will not be in until the next day.

Luckily she didn't have pneumonia!! Whatever the antibiotic shot was, was a miracle drug! She was better within hours of the shots and has progressed nicely. I had to go back to the doctor the following day for myself. This whole "go out in public and bring germs home" really sucks! I can see why people become shut-ins. ha! Kaylee is over all her crud and I'm slowly getting there.

Glad to hear you are feeling better! We had pink eye a few weeks ago and it is so GROSS! Both boys have also had chest x-rays for pneumonia, so I can sympathize with that too. What a terrible week!
