Pneumonia...

is the diagnosis.

X-rays today showed the beginning of pneuomonia at the bottom of her left lung.
Starting tomorrow on a strong antibiotic to prevent or treat any bacterial pneumonia. Continuing breathing treatments 3 times a day and back to the doctor for a recheck on Friday.

Doc said she likely isn't contagious, so at least I don't feel bad about sending her to daycare today.

We're keeping her home the rest of the week though, in the interest of maximizing the amount of rest she gets, making sure her breathing treatments are done properly, and watching her closely for any worsening of symptoms.
