Matthew has Pneumonia!

Saturday he started out with a cough. I thought he was just starting a cold. Sunday the cough got worse and he got a low grade fever around 99. Monday fever was 101 but he still seemed fine. Especially since for Thanksgiving he was sick with a virus and was averaging 104 degree temp. I thought it was the same thing. Monday night, he vomited and his cough became worse. Through the night, I could see that he was having some breathing difficulties. Tuesday morning his temp was 102 and he was struggling to breathe. He was having retractions in his belly and his neck. I took him in to the doctor, who then rushed us over for a stat chest x-ray. Then we found out it was pneumonia. He is on antibiotics and nebulizer treatments. Today is Wednesday and other then his cough, you can't even tell that he's sick. I have to take him to an allergist tomorrow for a follow up to make sure he's okay. So crazy!
Now today, both babies are coughing and wheezing!!! Hopefully we can head it off with them before it gets worse.

OMG! I hope Matthew gets better soon and doesn't infect the others! If one gets it, it seems everyone gets it! Feel better! :)
