Poor little Connor has pneumonia. He woke up Monday morning having a hard time breathing, so I called the nurse advice line (it was too early for the doctor's office to be open) and they told me to go ahead and take him to the ER. The nurses thought it sounded like croup and the doctor thought it was asthma, but after doing a chest x-ray it turns out he has pneumonia. After a breathing treatment and a shot of antibiotics in the ER, Connor's breathing had improved a little and he seemed much happier. He'll be on antibiotics for 10 days and he also has a medication to help with his breathing, which has helped a lot. Aside from his wheezing, he's already back to his normal self.

Monday was the day that our little guy first got sick with his pneumonia, too. You're right--that raspy breathing is so sad! I hope that he feels better soon!
