Bennett has Pneumonia :(

Honestly, this child show no symptoms of any kind. A few weeks ago he had a really bad ear infection. I had no clue because he showed no signs. Now he is in the early stages of pneumonia! He is as happy as ever! How would I have known?!

We took him in because of a wet cough he has had for a week. The babysitter called me at work today and told me that he was having trouble catching his breath while in the jumparoo today and that scared me. I never would have thought pneumonia!

He's now on antibiotics and has a breathing machine. This breathing machine thing is awful. Brian has to home him down with force, while I try to hold it on his face for about 10 min. Poor baby!

Has anyone else here had an experience with this?!

    I haven't had any experience with pneumonia but Eli is the same way about acting happy when he is sick.  It is hard to tell is something is really wrong with them.  I hope he is feeling better soon.

    O my goodness, poor baby. I'm sorry. I'm sure it must really suck to have to hold him down, poor Mommy, Daddy and Bennett. I hope he gets well very soon!

    Not with the pneumonia but Katie has a breathing machine.  We have to hold her on our lap and wrap our arms around her arms and body and the other holds the mist in her face.  The pedi said if she cries it's better because she breathes more in.  I hated it.

    I'm sorry he's sick :( I hope he is better soon.

    Oh no -- poor baby!  I hope he feels better soon!  I remember my brother had nebulizer treatments as a toddler -- they were hell to get through, but they made a huge difference.

    the nebulizer is tough, I have no advice, but I do have sympathy!

    oh scary!!  I'm sorry!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    Oh no! I am so sorry :( My niece had pneumonia last winter - she was the same way - just a little cough! She got antibiotics (no breathing machine) and she seemed to get over it just fine.

    Good luck!
