Evan's First Trip to the ER

No panicking after reading the headline...all is fine! I am sure this will not be the first and last trip to the ER. For the past few days, Evan's had a fever that has come and gone. His daycare called on Wednesday to say his fever was too high for him to stay, so T picked him up. T was worried since his breathing was a bit labored, so he called Evan's pediatrician. T was told there was no doctor for the rest of the week or weekend, so it was best to take him to the ER. GREAT, that will be a quick visit!

So, T took him to the ER and was diagnosed with a mild case of pneumonia. He had a chest x-ray that showed a bit of cloudiness in the upper part of his lung. Evan has to take a once a day antibiotic for a few days, but he'll be fine. All in all, it was probably better that he went to the ER, since the pediatrician tends to downplay things. He may have had this lingering for a while, so we'll be glad to get it all cleared up!
