The Boy

This kid is going to do me in.  He's been coughing since Monday. He stayed home Monday and Tuesday. Went to school Wednesday, which is a half day, and did ok. He also had another Neurology appointment Wednesday. Went to school Thursday and when I picked him up he was super weak, pale, said he was dizzy.  Coughed all evening to the point of puking. So here's his symptoms, which come and go, fyi - dizzy, pale, fever but says he's cold and has goose bumps, cough - sometimes every few seconds, sometimes minutes in between, the cough is more frequent at night when he's laying down, so he also has not been sleeping, and low energy. After a few days of coughing, he started saying his stomach hurt, which I figured was from all the coughing. The coughing has made his tics way worse, so I also thought his tummy could be sore from clenching like it does when his body tics.  Anyway, so after sending him to school for two days (oops) I took him in today and he has Pneumonia.  There are worse things, and he'll be fine...but I swear this kid can't get a break!!
