Pneumonia

pneu·mo·nia   /nʊˈmoʊnyə, -ˈmoʊniə, nyʊ-/


[noo-mohn-yuh, -moh-nee-uh, nyoo-]

–noun Pathology .

1. inflammation of the lungs with congestion.
2. an illness characterized by coughing until I see stars, spending a week throwing up despite the fact that I'm in my third trimester, and a trip to the instacare on an otherwise beautiful Sunday morning, resulting in one semi-panicked doctor, one breathing treatment, two inhalers and two different antibiotics. 
 
I have to tell you, though.  Breathing is a beautiful thing.

  5. Oh, this is not good. Get Well Soon, and it's an order. Do nothing more than what you absolutely need to, rest up, take care of yourself and baby.

    And rest. :) You are in my prayers, girl. Heal, rest, heal.

  6. Oh man Stacy.
    I'm so sorry! Sleep. Ask for help unabashedly. Then sleep some more. You're in my prayers.

  7. Yeah, I like breathing! SO sorry you have been under the weather. Seriously under the weather. That is so hard when you are carting around a big belly. Best wishes.

  8. Yikes! My mom has pneumonia right now too. :( She was not doing well with all the smoke from the fire on Sunday/Monday. The doctor requested an oxygen tank to be delivered to her, but she never got it. We don't know where the ball was dropped. I think she's doing ok, though. Hope you feel better soon - take it easy!
