we've been hit... part 2

The quiet didn't last very long after I saved that last post. Within minutes, Matt came out of the bedroom, concerned about something. He'd been coughing more, and is now having some production to the cough, but there was quite a bit of red in it. I debated about what to do, ended up calling the doctor's office (where he went Friday), and they wanted him to come in, just in case. Well, examination & x-ray & questions led to the diagnosis - he has pneumonia. Yup, pneumonia, on top of (or overlapping slightly with) the influenza b. Great. His fever's still in the 102 range... been like that since Saturday night at the hospital. Poor guy. No wonder he's hurting all over so badly. They gave him a shot of antibiotics in the fanny and a few scripts. The doctor wants to see him again tomorrow. I hope he's feeling well enough to drive by then because I'll be at work, unfortunately. If he doesn't improve in the next day or so, then he'll have to be hospitalized. At least it's something we can put our finger on. Now he knows it's just not in his head. We've been doing everything at home that we were supposed to. Now we can treat this new diagnosis and hopefully he can start feeling some relief by this evening. That's what I'm praying for. That, and the rest of us not getting it (even though Paul unfortunately has something now).
