Recovered

The antibiotics have been consumed, the extra fluids have been stopped, and the nebulizer treatments have slowed down. Zane is definitely feeling better. He still has some residual congestion, but that is to be expected. Yesterday he returned to school, and was very happy about it.

After all the confusion over appointments—and the will-they-or-will-they-not be scheduled—the coordinator managed to get everything lined up for Denver with the exception of dental. However, Zane’s pediatrician made the call that he should not be sedated a week after a bout with pneumonia. The coordinator was not happy with me; she had to cancel all the appointments she scrambled to secure. But come to find out, anesthesia told her they will not sedate until six weeks after pneumonia anyway. So now we are planning on a trip to Children’s for some time in May.


I am just happy Zane is on the road to recovery and acting like his old self again. It will take some time to get him back into his exercise schedule—since I backed off of it during his illness—but he will get there. He always does.


Thanks for sending positive thoughts and energy his way!

  3. May, Walking pneumonia is a less severe version, termed such because most people with it can "walk out" of the clinic after receiving a diagnosis (no hospitalization). Jeff wondered how Zane can have walking pneumonia when he doesn't even walk. The pediatrician didn't laugh.
