With the cooler weather our kids have gotten sick and shared it with their Dad. This is the first cold since he was injured and i'm beyond scared of it becoming pneumonia. I made a appointment for him at the Doctor's first thing Monday, his Mom say's I need to relax but that's just not how I work. Brady is finding me funny right now, I keep listening for conjestion in his lungs. I'm on pins and needles, I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. Sorry I just needed to rant a little.

I feel the same way and Paul has not even been sick yet! My mother, his sisters and their kids have all been sick. I'm just waiting for it to be our turn. I will be freaking out too. Hope he's feeling better soon.

If he has any symptoms, I would take him to the Dr. Duke hates it when I make him a quick appointment for a cold or sinus infection as well, but is usually thankful later. Duke's Dr also gave him a prescription for albuteral and a nebulizer which we use anytime he has congestion. I'd rather be safe than sorry.....

We have a appointment for 9am Monday, he's going like it or not. No sign of congestion yet, right now he's just real tired. I think the kids have the worst of it, Jazmine started all the fun.

I think your making a wise decision in being proactive. One can never do too much of the right thing, especially when the actions are coming from the heart. smile.gif

Just back from the Doctor's, no congestion as of yet but he did give him a scrip for a nebulizer

The nebulizer is a nice thing to have around smile.gif
