Pneumonia Again

Sean's got pneumonia again. Good grief. I took him to the doctor this morning because he had a respiratory distress cough. He really looked go though and the doctor (our family doc) said bring him back if he gets worse. I kept him home from school and je played with Ethan all afternoon. Ethan's mom even buzzed Sean's head at Sean's request. Then at about 5:30 Sean wanted Ethan to go home. I tried to feed him dinner but he said he had a headache and didn't feel good and boom he started retracting and having trouble breathing. We gave him a breathing treatment and then took him to the ER. He's on zithromax and we have the nebulizer so hopefully it will turn around fast. They called it an atypical pneumonia which is what they called it at first last time. He has no fever this time. That poor kids lungs. I talked to the doctor this morning about pertussis because he had this "whooping" sounding cough a couple of weeks ago but the new cough doesn't sound like that. He said we could test him for it if I was worried. Apparently there is an immunization resistant pertussis going around.
