...the young man has pneumonia. We have a Dr's appointment this evening at 5, and I'll be a bit surprised if they don't order chest x-rays. Then again, what do I know? Henry has a low-grade fever and a hideous cough which doesn't seem to be asthma-related. The cough went away for a brief period this morning, but is now back with a vengeance. I was tossing around the idea of giving the cough another day to see what would happen, but after listening to him hacking almost non-stop when we first woke up this morning, then seeing that we've got 8-12" of snow on the way tonight and tomorrow, we decided it would be best to get out to the pediatrician now while it's not a nightmare. After his cough dissipated a bit later in the morning, I called Dave and asked him what he thought about canceling the appointment, but he suggested we go ahead and keep it anyway. The last time we had that exact conversation for the exact same reason was last Spring when, in the end, it turned out Henry had strep throat. So, err on the side of caution it is.
