| Going home tomorrow!! I have spent the last 3 days in the hospital....I got a jump on this same pneumonia I get every year....it came real close to actually killing me last year, so I decided I would beat it to the punch and cut it off at the pass! I get this every single year, and as I get older, it gets harder and harder to bounce back....I knew where I was headed with this over the last week or so, so I went to my doc and she went ahead and admitted me for IV antibiotics and fluids....I was hoping they would only keep me for a day but it has been 3 days now, and I can not walk out.....insurance wont pay if you leave under those circumstances....bless his heart, my brother came down to manage the dogs and help my son while I am down....that makes it a "do-able" adventure....Jimmy cant manage totally, completely on his own....my brother is solid as a rock and my son is fine now until I can get out of here and get home. |

| Smart thinking to get a jump start "preventive maintenance" is what I would call it lol. Happy to hear you'll be back home today.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hope you continue to feel better, and soon! Can't believe you get this every year, ugh, what a pain. At least you got a bit ahead of it this year though.

| You did great to get a hold of before it became unbearable. I wonder if the pneumonia shot would help...have you gotten it? If it would prevent this from happening every year, it is well worth it. Praying you recover completely.

| My mom was getting pneumonia often until they discovered that she was apirating the liquids she drank. When you swallow the opening to the lungs closes but hers was not clsoing quick enough, allowing liquid to get in her lungs which caused the pneumonia. She had to go through therapy to re-train those muscles and it has helped.

| Home tomorrow Hello. So very sorry to hear you are sick and were in the hospital, but glad to know the early treatment and care are making you feel better. One would think that you had immunity after so many bouts? Is this an unusual bug you get? So sweet lady, get well soon. Love and hugs. Dot xxxx |

| Hi! so glad you're feeling well and had such great help while you were down. I will be following your example next school year as I have an asthmatic child with the worst immune system ever, so she ends up at the hospital with what they call walking pneumonia or actual pneumonia atleast once during every school year. We just got her out of the hospital Friday. Next time I will do like you said and take her for antibotics early on. Take care!
