...his fever spiked again before bedtime. The doctor said I should have seen big improvement by today. He is supposed to call us to check on him tomorrow. Last time he had pneumonia he ended up in the hospital on IV antibiotics. That was 4 years ago.

It's maddening because we took him to a clinic on Sunday and to his own doctor on Monday and we are doing everything we were advised to do but he still has fever on and off, the most horrible cough, no energy and he won't eat. When we do get him to eat a little, he throws it up.

This is what he has eaten and kept down since Thursday night:

sucked juice out of 2 oranges
ate half of a strawberry
a few spoons of broth
a few noodles
several freezer pops
water

We probably won't even wait for the doctor to call and just bring him in in the morning.

Sorry to rant.
