 Crap!! Just back from the doc b/c Brooker has had a funny cough and sniffle nose. Didn't sound like her regular cough she gets w/ the sniffles and malasias. Pneumonia  This is her first time w/ this. I know nothing about it. I'm so sad and a tad (a big tad) freeked out. If you could send up some Prayers for the Brookster and maybe a couple for the Momma. Dr Tami gave us some penacillian (sp) and told me what to watch for. If she gets a fever go straight to Doernbeckers. If she gag's and gets phlem (sp) stuck in her little malasia throat that just won't come out, go to Doernbeckers. Argghhhhhh. She is sleeping soundly w/ Daddy right now. Poor girl

Hi momma !!!!!!
Give Brookers a hug from us here. you need one to (((HUG))). It'll be okay... I just know it. Remember don't give her any dairy right now if she has phlegm cause well you know. ... I always give Liv lotsa pillows so she can sit waaaaaaaaaaaay up when she sleeps. And plenty of clear liquids so she doesn't dehydrate. ((( HUGS)))) give it 4 days and she'll feel much better after the antibiotics kick in. Stephanie

Thx girls. It seems 2 days of meds has helped a bit. No fevers, no gaging  Just ALOT of coughing. Have you ever heard not to put vicks on a kid w/ pneumonia? Dr Tami said it is a cough supressant (sp) and it keeps the goobers inside where she can't hack the goobers up. Weird. She is doing better though. I just got a visit from Brooks BFF's Momma asking the symptoms. Poor little "O" has the cough too |

THx SO much Laura {{{HUGS}}} I don't use the regular vicks b/c of the mentalatum (sp). I used..... read... used LOL Vicks baby rub b/c it has eucaliptus (sp) instead. I would slather her in it and even put it on her nose. Yikes!!!
No more any kind of vicks for the Brookster!!! I'm going to pass this info along.
She seems to be getting better. We get off work today so now that the rain has stopped and the sun will be making an appearance today, maybe we will go outside in the backyard for some fresh air. Humid fresh air will get the boogies out!

I'm soooooooo glad that you read the post and responded. I was really worried about her malacia thing and was worried that you might not see the information.
I hope she's feeling back to her old spritely self again soon!!!
Hugs, Laura

Cough sounded like she'd smoked 100 packs of cig's. Just cough cough cough w/ lots of phlem stuff gurgling around. She seems to be better. Just keep on giving her the med's. Doc T said she would probally cough for awhile. We will go back in on friday for a check up.

I'm glad that Brooker is seeing some improvement, Jen  I'll check in on Saturday to read about what Dr. Tammy says at the checkup. I hate the troubles that affect the breathing - freaks me out. |
