Austin had a follow-up appointment today for his pneumonia. He hasn't been eating or drinking well all weekend and into this week, so I have been a little worried about that and the lingering fever he has had. This morning, he only had 2 crackers and a few pieces of cereal to eat and less than 8oz of fluids. Some of that was Pediasure though, so I felt good about that. Of course, this is not for lack of trying....the boy just won't eat anything I offer him! He has even turned down CHOCOLATE PUDDING!!! Definately not MY son! :-)
Anyway, the Dr. said that the pneumonia looked like it was an early case and we must have caught it pretty early. He also said that he suspects that Austin is fight off a virus as well as the pneumonia, which would explain the fever. Of course, he hasn't had a fever since this morning, so that might already be taken care of! :-D It always works that way...right after you see the doctor, the things that worry you take care of themselves!
Austin is hanging in there....he can be REALLY crabby at times though, so I am hoping he forgets that behavior when he gets better because a kid screaming at me is NOT my definition of a FUN household! We went over to visit Paula and the kids tonight and had dinner. Austin ate two bags of chips...of course NO dinner, but at least he ate SOMETHING! THEN, he came back home and ate some grapes....so, I think we are on our way to a healthy boy soon!!!
