Clarification

I think some people are confused about Ethan's illness. He has not had pneumonia for 2 weeks. Initially, he had a virus that caused the stomach pain and vomiting. He just recently developed the pneumonia. It is an opportunistic disease, meaning it often waits until the immune system is already weakened to set in. So, he was already sick with the virus then the pneumonia decided rear it's ugly head. The doctor said he didn't have it initially because she went back and checked his initial abdominal xrays and she could see the bottom of his lungs and there wasn't any pneumonia there.

He is almost back to normal now. No fever today. Appetite is better. Today he had red spaghetti and garlic toast....for breakfast (takes after his Aunt Ree). He is sleeping less and up playing more. We went to Target and to get a haircut today. Those were his first big outings. His little attitude is coming back but a little worse now. He has become a little spoiled over the last two weeks. He would only eat his lunch today on a TV tray while watching ALF. He dropped a toy literally in front of his feet and whined because he couldn't pick it up. He kept telling me "I can't get it! You do it!" He finally did when I refused to pick it up for him. It's nice to have my Ethan back, whining and all. :-)
