Well, it looks like Parker is going to take his time getting better. We had hoped that this would be only for a few days but this is now his sixth night in the hospital and while the x-rays show that the pneumonia is clearing, he has made little to no progress on maintaining his oxygen saturations. We finally switched to a full oxygen mask instead of a nasal cannula. This helps a lot but is more awkward for him to deal with.
I guess we need to just sit back and let him get better on his own schedule. They did finally rule out any sort of virus that might have caused this. So it looks like we're dealing with a straight bacteria pneumonia. It's a real doozie though and seems to put up quite a fight against the antibiotics. So I think we're looking at several more days in the hospital :( ~ Jason
