Jackson's First X-Rays

Poor little man! He never gets sick, but when he does, there is no joking around about it. He has been coughing for about week...but not bad. He had no fever, still eating, drinking, and sleeping just fine. I attributed it to the insane weather changes that make us all so sick. Well, last night at mom and dad's he just started getting really lethargic and his temperature rose to almost 102 (and that was under the arm where I could barely get him to sit still). We gave him motrin and I went to take him home. Mommy instinct on the way home said to just take him to the emergency clinic so he isn't miserable tomorrow when no one is open. The doctors and staff there were amazing! The doctor that saw him wanted to make sure that the weazing he heard wasn't anything more, so he asked for a chest x-ray. Turns out, he was actually concerned about the very early beginnings of pneumonia that showed up on the x-ray!! Luckily we caught everything before it was an issue. We went and picked up his medicine last night so he would have a jump start on today. Jackson is fine...as a matter of fact, it is 10:15am right now and he is STILL sleeping!!! (yes, I have checked on him about a million times already!) :) I'll post again later with Thanksgiving pics! Hope everyone has a great day!
