Pneumonia

Well, Kurt is really sick. He came down with what we thought was a bad cold three weeks ago and went to the doctor almost immediately in hopes to nip it in the bud before getting his prego wife sick (that should have been my first hint, Kurt never goes to the doctor). So they put him on antibiotics and he was good and took all of them like he was supposed to. He started feeling a lot better on Christmas Eve. Then, two days after Christmas his cough started to flare up again and we were wondering what was going on since he was done with the meds and thought he was recovering. By the next morning he had a 102 degree fever. That afternoon we took him to the doctor again and they said he has walking pneumonia. They put him on an inhaler, two new antibiotics, cough syrup with codine, and told me to give him both tylenol and motrine in regular intervals. Yikes! While still very sick we thought he was starting to do a little better yesterday afternoon, guess it was too soon to think that because by this morning his temperature soared up to 103 degrees while I was out at Walmart. I've never been so scared, he looked like a zombie, he wouldn't move and could barely talk or breath.  No more going out for me, I am here with my homemade meds chart and making sure he is taking that stuff right on time. We've got the fever back down and I am forcing him to drink lots of water.  We have a doctors appointment tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11 to check up, they'll probably do an xray since there hasn't really been an improvement and we'll see where they take us from there. I'll post an update asap after the doctors. We greatly appreciate prayers for Kurt's condition. So far the Lord has protected me from catching any of this, which is truly a miracle because usually I catch everything.
