Home from the hospital

I am home now. Daddy is working from home this week and looking after me. I have been given antibiotics and still have a nasty cough. But I am home and sleeping well. I just need to work on eating and drinking. When we arrived home we celebrated Daddy's birthday. We missed it last week with all the drama.

Bye Bye

In the hospital with Pneumonia


Hi everybody. Sorry I have not blogged in a little while. I have been really sick. I had the flu/cold and then I found that I had an eye infection. I then gave the eye infection to my Mummy and then I development a really bad fever. Mummy and Daddy took me to the hospital on Wednesday evening and I had my lungs X-rayed. They found out that I have pneumonia. I cried during the X-rays. They sat me in alittle bicycle seat, held my arms straight up in the air, and enclosed my torso in a plexi-glass tube. Then as I screamed they took pictures of my chest. In fact, you can see me screaming in the X-ray shots (my big open mouth gives it away). They also discovered that I had a very low oxygen count in my blood (88%). I was pretty miserable for most of the visit. They recommended that I stay in the hospital for several days so that I could have oxygen, antibiotoics and further tests. Mummy and Daddy have stayed in the hosptial with me for the last three days. They take turns taking care of my during the day while the other goes to work. Then we all sleep together in my room. We are waitng for a blood test to come back this morning to see if my blood is infected. If not, I can go home today. If it is, then I have to stay here for a few more days.

Hope you are all well. I will update on my progress very soon.

Bye Bye
