Well, Parker got through the first 24 hours at the hospital. It looks like he'll be there for at least another day. Maybe longer. Last night was pretty rough but he seemed a little better today after a few rounds of IV antibiotics. Pneumonia is bad enough but that on top of his Pulmonary Hypertension makes for a really serious problem. I really hope this last month isn't indicative of what the rest of his school experience is going to be. We knew that there was a risk sending him to school with so many kids who get sent to school when they're sick. A little sniffle for a normal kid can be life-threatening for Parker but he loves school and we really want him to have that experience. Still, two hospital stays in one month is not great. We've been counting ourselves lucky that we've kept it at around two per year for the last few years! Ugh.
In other news, November is Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month. This is a disease that often goes misdiagnosed for a long time. For more information go to www.sometimesitsph.org/. ~ Jason
