pneumonia

Poor Ella has been sick all winter long.  She had different colds all through November and December.  Christmas weekend she was miserable so we took her in on the 27th and found out she had a sinus infection.   She finished off the antibiotic the first week of January and has been doing well until this Wednesday.  She woke up with a cough and runny nose.  Thursday she just got worse and this morning I noticed she was having trouble breathing.  We took her in and found out she has pneumonia.  She's on an antibiotic and we'll keep monitoring her breathing over the weekend.  We'll go back to the doctor on Monday to see how she's doing.  Poor baby.  She is miserable.  She just keeps saying in a really whiny, pathetic voice "sick" every time she coughs or we wipe her nose.  It is TERRIBLE having a sick baby.
