Jack is not doing so well. Even though he has been on antibiotics for bronchitis he has not gotten better. Yesterday in the early morning we took him back to the doctors. That night he had been up crying complaining of his ear. He also is still coughing and was having trouble breathing. He stopped breathing 2 times. It was only for like 10 to 15 seconds, but it happened.
After a examination and a chest x-ray they said he had a nasty ear infection in both ears. The cronic sinusitis is still there. They also said after getting the report from the radiologist that he has upper lobe pneumonia. They put him on a much stronger antibiotic. They talked with his respritory doctor who put him on an oral steriod. We have to go back in 48 hours. If Jack is still not responding to treatment then we would go to the next step.The next step would be to possibly put him into the hospital.
Please pray Jack responds to this antibiotic. We do not want to have to go to the hospital.
Jack is acting pretty well. His spirit is high. When the pain medication wears off then he complains, but other then that he acts OK. I can tell he doesnt feel well because he is not eating well. He is also having diarrhea. Diarrhea alone can be a issue for Jack. We are just praying the pnemonia gets better and the diarrhea stops.
I had started a blog to update everyone on Jacks last GI appointment. He also has cronic sinusitis. The ENT and allergist are dealing with that. I will update all this at a later time.
Please keep JACK IN YOUR PRAYERS. He is a trooper. I am sure he will be fine. God is in control.
