Blah Part 2

Just after we got over Gabe's last random illness, I got another call from the sitter saying he had a 100.5 fever on a Friday.  

Poor guy sat in the couch and watched a movie and barely played.  He even woke us up in the middle of the night with a fever.  Scott ended up staying in Gabe's room.  

I took Gabriel to the doctor on Saturday morning and came home with some meds for a bronchial infection. Gabriel was on the mend by Sunday.  Scott, on the other hand was getting sick.

Monday he went for a run, it took 15 minutes to run a mile.  With that he showered and was back in bed.  With a doctor appointment that afternoon and a cold diagnosis he stayed home Tuesday because of a fever.  Wednesday he went in to work thinking he was better.  By 1 I had a text to come pick him up.  Another doctor appointment and chest x-rays later, he was diagnosed with pneumonia! 

Quick acting meds and rest have helped.  He pushed it a bit by going to the pumpkin patch on Sunday.  However, he was able to work from home Monday and Tuesday.  He finally made it to work today (Wednesday).  

Although he is tired, he's been a champ helping with the boys.  It's been good thing my mom has been up here this month.  Scott is now on the mend and will have to take it easy for 6 weeks ( yea right).  And of course a follow up chest X-ray.  

I really hope this is the worst for a long while.
