Well sadly my news is mixed for today. We found out (after a long morning) that Bradley has Pneumonia. About 1/2 of his left lung is full of junk. He was a real trooper through the Dr. appointment, blood work, x-ray, and return to the Dr. for shots and to pick up a prescription. Thankfully we know what it is and hopefully he'll be on the mend soon. There are a lot of what-ifs that we'll have to be careful to watch for, but we'll be praying that things will work out as they should. Luckily it is NOT contagious so at least we don't have the added worry of wondering who we might have passed it on to.
It's been a long and tiring last few days, but again, at least we know what's wrong with him and I was thinking about it last night, at least we have 2 beautiful boys to worry about. The Lord has truly blessed us.
Oh, and our sweet Bradley has so much faith. Early this morning (oh, around 4:30 am) as Bradley was lying in the tub when we were trying to bring Bradley's WAY TOO HIGH (somewhere over 107) fever down he said, "I think you need to give me a blessing, Dad, so I can feel all better." What faith. Again, we truly are blessed!

Glad you know what it is so that it can be treated with the right meds. I was thinking about him again today at work, and wondering if his fever had broken or if he'd had to go get blood work. :( I'll continue praying that the meds do their job SOON, and that you and Ryan will have continued strength!
Poor little guy! Hope he feels better soon, and that you and Ryan are able to get through it.
I'm so glad you caught it. Bria had pneumonia, and the pediatrician never caught it...I was going crazy with the high fever that I could never get below 103 with medication and finally took her to the ER where they x-rayed and found it. I'm sure things will get better quickly now that you know what's up.
Poor Bradley!
What a scary thing to go through - I'm so glad you know what it is and you can treat it and make it go away! We've experienced the same with Ellie; what a comfort to have the priesthood in your home so you can have your children blessed and know that everything will be okay.
Love you!!!
I'll be thinking of your little guy and saying a prayer for your family. Remember to take care of yourself throughout all of this.
Wow, that must have been frustrating as well as difficult; not knowing what was wrong, and not being able to help. But, as others have said, at least you know what it is now and have the meds to help out as well. And the faith of a little child . . .
Oh you guys! We love you and will be praying for that sweet little guy! Sure love your glowing perspective, Marianne!
