Fever..Coughing..and more

Poor Brandon. He has been coughing with a fever since last Tuesday afternoon. It was only 103* at it's high point on Wednesday. He stayed home from school two days and I sent him back on Friday. I did give him drugs... Delsym and Mucinex DM for the cough and his fever was gone for the time.
He had to leave church early and go home to sleep, He just slept all weekend. He didn't want to even play games on the PS3. I should have know better.
Monday I sent him to school again. (what a bad mom I am) He made it through the day only to come home and take a two hour nap, eat dinner and sleep for the night. Again I sent him to school on Tuesday morning. (bad mom, very, very bad mom). Around 11 am I got the phone call from the boy, Brandon, in the nurse's office at school. He had a fever again, no energy and he wanted to come home and sleep.
So off I went to pick him up. I thought I'd better be a good mother and take him to the doctors. The doctor asked Brandon what was up. He told the symptoms and the doctor listened to his chest, looked in ears, down the throat etc... So.. He has "Walking Pneumonia". Great job Heidi! We got the drugs he needed, Zithromax and Guaifensesin with Codeine, (cough med).
By 2 o'clock on Tuesday I had him all druged up and in bed. He slept until 6 pm when I woke him up to feed him dinner and give him another dose of the Codeine. He slept all night without any coughing. Wednesday morning he slept in until 9 am. My poor little guy.
I am happy to report that today, Thursday at 1:30 in the afternoon. He has watched a movie, had chips and salsa and his coughing is minimal at best. He is wanting to shoot me with his Nerf gun every time I walk by his room. (because I made him lay down after lunch) He wants to play the PS3, which I wont let him do, mean mom. I do believe I will be sending him to night school tonight at 4:30pm. (he is all dressed and can't wait to go!) I know he will be at school tomorrow. WE will both be happy then.
We love being healthy!
