The Sick Pirate

Andrew's fall festival at his school was last Saturday and this little pirate had so much fun!

He did get scared by a little boy dressed up as a skeleton, who deliberately tried to scare him. Why do kids have to be so mean?? Anyway, he coughed a couple of times that day but nothing to make us worry. He coughed a little more on Sunday and then Sunday night/Monday morning he woke up with a fever of 103.5 so off to the emergency room we went. Andrew was such a trooper. When we got there his fever was 104.4, which is the highest it's ever been. They took x-rays and we were stunned to find out he had pneumonia. So they got us back to a room where they took some blood and put in an IV....Andrew was amazing during this, which is more than I can say for Jay who had to leave the room. :)
They didn't admit him thankfully, but the week was pretty rough. I'll spare you the details but I will say that for 3 days he literally layed on the couch and didn't move unless we made him. Thankfully he's all better and back to his old self!
