Frustrated. And a little nervous.

Well, we have Pneumonia again. That's twice in three months. Ugh. This time, its more aggressive, more widespread and just downright brutal. We have new medicines and stronger doses of old medicines and new inhalers. If we don't see an improvement by tomorrow afternoon then we have to admit him up at OHSU. At this point, the two doctors I met with today agree the asthma is the main cause of the Pneumonia--it prevents him from just kicking a cold and allows it to get into his lungs. If he gets another case of Pneumonia before next February (three cases, total, in one calendar year) then we have to admit him for more tests. The part that makes me nervous: the two doctors I met with were great--very communicative and honest with me. But they did that doctor eyes meeting nervous kind of exchanging glances sort of thing. THAT makes me nervous. And I told them so. And they were honest: its not normal for a child--even an asthmatic sickly child--to get Pneumonia this often and this easily. Something just isn't quite right...the asthma is the *main* cause but might not be the *only* cause. They didn't go into anymore detail than that. So...we will wait and see and pray. That's pretty much all I can do. And that's the part that sucks the most...
