Pneumonia

Hello, Team Naaman. Looks like Cheeky isn’t quite done with respiratory illnesses just yet. He developed a new cold and cough that was worsening. We were just in clinic yesterday for a count check (down, but no transfusion needed), but he worsened further. When we went in today, he had a nebulizer treatment and a chest Xray.  They confirmed he has bacterial pneumonia.  Luckily, he will have ten days of antibiotics and can go nebulizer treatments at home. Now we can earn our badge for learning yet another piece of medical equipment at home.  JK.  We are grateful to treat him at home and just keep him comfy and Chlorox it up around the house. While he is home and we feel hopeful, it’s really important he stays healthy and the pneumonia goes away.  Please pray nothing spreads or worsens, and the antibiotics do their job!
