Another Pneumonia

Just 10 days after completing treatment for a less serious pneumonia, things really started spiraling downward over the last 72 hours.

We saw Sam's pediatrician Dr. Paulson late last week and his lungs sounded good. The bloodwork, however, told a different story. While his eosiniphils were down (that's good) but his overall WBC was way up, indicating a problem. His breathing really became labored and we went back to our 24-hour pulse-ox/hydration watch.
