Sharlene,
pneumonia is tough sometimes. I've had it twice, dad has had it many times - I'm glad that he's doing better. Make sure that he finishes the antibiotics regardless of how he feels and if you see signs of it returning, sometimes two rounds are necessary.
He took the antibiotics for 5 days and it's suppose to stay in the body and keep working for 10 days. So, he's been finished with that as this past Wed.
He felt better yesterday but then didn't feel good today. Headache, etc, but I checked and no temperature. Still coughing, but he slept for like 7 hours last night. So, will have to keep an eye on him and see how it goes.
Molly needs her bangs trimmed, I don't know how she can see anything. She often seems to be wearing it marilyn monroe style. :) LOL
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Sharlene:
Your poor hubby, this is terrible to be this sick for this long. I truly hope he is better and I hope you are now feeling well?? How is Molly's ear doing? The arctic vortex is coming back next week so get Molly's new coat ready!! Blessings

I saw that polar air coming back in this week. Not looking forward to that.
I'm doing a lot better, just a cough every now and then, so not bad and feel fine.
Molly hasn't been shaking her head so I think her ear is fine now. Just keep it cleaned out and hope it doesn't come back again. She doesn't role around in the snow or anything, but I do think the cold doesn't help it.
It takes quite awhile to recover from pneumonia. The chest has to clear too, which takes awhile, then the tissue has to heal, so..we'll see. I don't like the idea of him going out in the cold air this week to work though, (if he has the strength, he sleeps a lot and can't talk very well, the vocal chords are shot), because I think that will affect his chest negatively.
We'll survive, this is just all going to take time. Our oldest girl is flying in for the youngest birthday in 2 weeks so hope that he'll be much better by then. I'm doing a mexican fiesta dinner. So, making some shopping trips out and about to start finding ingredients. (not easy around here but I will persevere) and I will make up a batch of enchilada sauce too. If nothing else it will clear things out like Glynda mentioned. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Glad to hear that Molly,s ear is doing well as are you. It will take Hubs to get over this as it will have wiped him out. ;)
Oh Mexican Fiesta sound good not that I know what that really is, as don,t like spicy food lol Good that your daughter is flying in for it. :D
Hey Sharlene
Can he not take another week off work? Sounds like he might need it esp if his voice is still bad.
Glad to hear you managed to get out for a while, does drive you a bit nuts being stuck inside.
This cold is getting blinking ridiculous now, it's totally frozen up here tonight already. Doubt we will get it as bad as you guys mind, hopefully they will be wrong and you get some of Kathy's weather

Oh Tracy, you must try the mexican food though. Even simple is good and not all of it is spicy, you can go mild. I don't overdo the spices as youngest daughter doesn't care for hot/spicy either. Enchiladas, spanish rice, black beans, chili rellenos, cole slaw, tequila and pitcher margaritas is the general plan.
Yea it will take him awhile to recover. We're doing okay though. Cold and snowy here today and Molly is not really into being outside in it for too long. (I'm okay with that too) LOL
I can only imagine how this 1 month mark has hit you. :(
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Hi Mel,
I think he can take the time off. He said he is just going to see how he is day by day. He can work from home too if he needs to. His biggest issue is probably the voice thing as he is constantly in meetings and of course no flying.
I wish we'd have some of Kathy's weather. Although California is in a drought right now, so that isn't good either. :( I think the Governor there has declared a state of emergency over the lack of rain.
All the wet weather seems have gone your way this year. :)
hugs,

Personally I don't think he should even try and work next week, more rest and soup is probably in order. I would like to think his work would understand, not like he just has a cold
Xxx
Sharlene - The food does sound yummy, as does the margaritas :D I always thought Mexican food was spicy, may need to try some of it.
Yeah a month how time flys when your not having fun :rolleyes:
