An update...and some pictures

I spoke with Andrew's doctor yesterday afternoon/evening and we're doing pretty well. His blood work came back showing just the Pneumonia (no mono, no bronchitis--YAY!). His cough is subsiding after only one day on his new inhaler. His appetite is still pretty small, but his fever has stayed low or nonexistent since yesterday afternoon. I think (HOPE) we're on the mend!

We've received a ton of encouragement from friends who have been through this before with their kids when they were Andrew's age and its been so great to hear from them. They've all indicated they went through a really rough year of constantly getting Pneumonia, being admitted to run more tests and finding out its just the asthma or just a bad year. We're really praying we don't even have to go through being admitted and having tests run, but I will be less nervous about it if we have to go that route.

In the mean time, we're working hard at keeping him well and using his new inhaler every day.

Here's a couple of pictures from last week's trip to the track! :)
