Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Now see there??!! I said this cold/warm/bitter cold was going to make everyone sick. I'm sorry the party is off for you. I wanted to see the picts too....but it's best you not share your germs with anyone else.....nor pick up any new ones. Sounds like hubby's fever may have broken. That would be good. I had the flu one year and had 103-104 for 4 days running. I was miserable. They wouldn't let me even take a shower until the fever broke. YUK!!

What did you do for NY eve? Anything special? Hope you're both feeling much better on Saturday.

Hugs,
Susan

Sharlene:
Please take care as I saw on the news this morning that the swine flu is out and killing a lot of people. When I went to the grocery there was a lot of people hacking and sneezing I was scared to death I would get something. Hope Molly is better with that ear stuff. That has to be miserable for a dog. Blessings

Oh no - just been reading that you're all poorly so hoping the nasty stuff has almost run it's course and you're feeling better very soon.

Hi Sharlene

Hope hubs is on the improve today and his fever has broken. He must just feel yuck, is he keeping the drinking up? Have to go out soon but will check in later for an update that is hopefully positive today. Gotta have him right for the glamour ball!! Kisses for Molly, hugs for you and a wave from the doorway to hubby :D:D:D xxx

Hi Sharlene, I hope your husband get better quickly! I hope you and Molly are doing well.

Fever did not break, hubs was not doing well, wife was pulling out hair, dog was grumbling at everything.

We went to the ER, another chest xray, verdict - pneumonia. Eye infection too, no idea where that came from as he hasn't left the house since Tuesday and I don't have any eye problems, but there you have it, it came literally out of no where. Now on antibiotics. Oh and the chest xray on Thursday, not clear, borderline. If they'd started antibiotics then, we would have been on the mend by this time, as it is, it will be awhile before he is back to where he should be.

Oh Susan, New Years Eve was just spent with good friends, an Italian restaurant, and then some trivia around the dining table, laughing and having fun. :) It works for us, every year. :) We can be low key! :)
Drat, even hubs was ticked he missed getting to see the CEO in his dads WWII uniform for the 1940s party, so hope someone took pics!

Just want to thank you all as I was literally at my wits end with this thing with the hubs. You all helped a great deal, just like you do every time something comes up with molly.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Oh booger that's good that he,s now on meds stupid docs he could've been on the road to recovery if the had given him the Abs at the first x ray. Onwards and upwards for him and you. I loved your opening sentences dog grumbling lol

So sorry to hear that you're all under the weather, and that they delayed giving your hubby the meds earlier - hope you'll all be feeling much better soon.

Those docs are so worried about giving antibiotics for viruses, that they hold off too long, causing bigger problems. I did not go to my doctor when I was so ill, because he's one of those that holds off on antibiotics. I went to urgent care instead and that is where they discovered that I had whooping cough and antibiotics were started right away. I was told that if I had waited another two or three days before starting antibiotics, I would've had pneumonia also.

I am glad that your hubby finally got the meds he needs, but he should've got them last Thursday when he went the first time. Hid pneumonia could and should have been avoided, poor guy. Now it's going to take it much longer to recover. That sucks! I am so sorry Sharlene.:(

I do hope you are feeling better and don't need antibiotics too. What a shame. Xxxxxx

I'm okay, still coughing and congested in my chest, but no fever.

Yea, it was urgent care that didn't give him the meds, and emergency at the hospital who did today.
I called it cookie cutter diagnostics, because there were Loads of people in both places with the same sort of symptoms, but not exact ya know. I think they just didn't pay attention to the xray enough, the doctor today took one look and said, Thursdays wasn't clear, it was borderline and to go do another then he'd talk to us. That was when we came back and he said definitely pneumonia and start the antibiotics.

Family seems to be freaking out now. I tend not to be overly dramatic and alarmist, but I might be the minority around here.
