MANS ENDED UP HAVING A REALLY BAD CASE OF PNEUMONIA, THAT GOT SO BAD IN BETWEEN OUR ER VISIT AND FU APPOINTMENT THAT IT COMPLETELY FILLED HIS LEFT LUNG AND COLLAPSED IT. WE WERE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL AT THAT APPOINTMENT AND HE WAS AIR LIFTED TO BALBOA FOR MORE IN DEPTH PEDIATRIC CARE. HE WAS INTO SURGERY THAT NIGHT. IT WAS A WHIRL WIND OF EMOTION AND BAD NEWS THAT WE HAD TO ACCEPT AND ENDURE FOR OUR SON TO GET BETTER. I WAS SO SCARED FOR MY SON GOING INTO SURGERY AND WHEN HE GOT OUT HE LOOKED SO HORRIBLE. HE WAS ALL HOOKED UP TO I.V.'S AND MONITORS IT WAS HARD TO SWALLOW. WE WERE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 2 WEEKS AND WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO HAVE TO DO,WATCH YOUR BABY GOING THROUGH IT. HE WAS SUCH A TROOPER AND A STRONG GUY I AM SO PROUD OF HIM AND HE TRULY GREW UP IN THAT 2 WEEKS.WE WERE DISCHARGED TODAY AND WE ARE ENJOYING BEING HOME AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL...NO MORE NEEDLES AND X-RAYS AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY! MANS IS SO WEAK, SO I AM EXTRA PARANOID WITH HIM AROUND THE HOUSE...HE DID EAT A BOWL OF SPAGHETTI AND HAS BEEN DRINKING LOTS SO THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. WILL BE HANGING AT THE HOUSE FOR A WEEK OR 2 TILL WE GET OUR FOLLOW UP APPT WITH THE DOC TO SEE IF HE IS ALL BETTER. LETS HOPE AND PRAY IT DOESN'T COME BACK OR GETS WORSE. THIS BUG IS VERY STRONG AND RESISTANT TO MOST MEDS...SO WE R LUCKY HE GOT AN ANTIBIOTIC THAT IS SHOWING SENSITIVITY TO IT AND WILL KILL IT. OUR LIFE'S ARE FOREVER CHANGED AND AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE MY BABY BACK AT HOME AND GETTING BETTER. I WILL NEVER TAKE A DAY WITH MY SON FOR GRANTED, SO QUICKLY THINGS CAN CHANGE. AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PRAYED FOR HIM AND SENT US THERE LOVE, IT WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND NEEDED.
