A Round of Applause and A Round of Antibiotics

First, for the round of applause...

Logan had an incredibly successful day at his elementary school's Knowledge-A-Thon PTO fundraiser! The students were given a list of 100 grade level-appropriate questions to study for several weeks, and family and friends made pledges for each correct answer. The event took place on Friday, and Logan answered ALL 100 QUESTIONS correctly (as well as 3 bonus questions)! Way to go, Logan!  And thanks to all who supported Logan with donations to his school!  

And now about those antibiotics... 

I took Logan to the pediatrician this morning because he has been coughing and running a fever the past two days. (Pneumonia was the obvious suspect...but he's never run a fever with it before.) The diagnosis was pneumonia AND influenza. Antibiotics are underway, and we are more anxious than ever to proceed with the pulmonologist evaluation next month. (This makes 5 episodes of pneumonia since last April...I thought they were a little closer together than that, but that's plenty close enough!)

How sad that I was posting about antibiotics for Logan exactly one month ago today, and here we are again.  This kid deserves a break!  

By the way, Liam's eye continues to improve.  One more week ought to do the trick.

Way to go Logan!! We're so proud of you! Jill - I also hope the pulmonologist has some answers for you. How incredibly frustrating! I hope he feels better soon - keep us posted.

WooHoo Logan!! Way to go! We're very proud of your accomplishment! And on the antibiotic note, hope you're feeling even better today. Your Dad said you felt a little better when I talked to him last night. Love & kisses ~
