We love antibiotics

I am so grateful for antibiotics.  They have literally saved Ellie's life on more than one occasion. 

The current antibiotic is helping so much.  She is feeling much better.

She is breathing more easily.  Her HR is back to normal.  Her pain is gone.  She is more alert.  She has had a few smiles.

She is still coughing up junk (clearing out her lungs).  But this is always a good thing with pneumonia.

I still have her on a low amount of O2.  But we will start to wean her down...either later today or tomorrow.

Overall she is just feeling better than she was.

This was not a super scary bad case of pneumonia...we have definitely had worse.

As a friendly reminder...please get your flu shot!  Please stay home if you are sick!  Please wash your hands!  Thank you!  Cold and flu season is here folks!
