I am so sorry my dear, will it ever stop..... you all are in my thoughts all the time and I hope he will be feeling better soon with the medication.

All my love Björn

Sorry to hear that MamaP. Get him on the antibiotics and keep him in bed. I understand the hardships of a husband having to miss work...if that is a concern for you... but pneumonia is nothing to play around with. My 17 year old daughter had the flu and it turned into pneumonia and I was really scared. She got so sick so fast.

Make him rest and yes, isolate him...while taking care of yourself of course. You both are in my prayers. HUGS!!!

I'm sorry to hear this Mamapinky. When it rains it pours, and it's pouring now. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers. Just wish they would work a little better.

10+ years ago I had pneumonia twice in one year. I was so dragged down and I've never been the same since then because I didn't rest as I should have no matter how thorough the exhaustion was. I had two small kids then and no family around so I couldn't just spend 6 months in bed like drs said I should. Please make sure your hubby gets rest and bums around for a while. They gave me those mega antibiotic shots too, but not as many your dh is getting and that's why it came back again for me, so it's good that he gets a heavy treatment as much as I am a try not to use antibiotics person unless it's truly necessary. This is one of those times.

Hoping everyone gets better soon.

I am so sorry for all you're going through. Maybe you're just getting all the nastiness out of the way now so that 2018 will be bright!

MamaP, uplifting thee whole family. So sorry all this is happening.

Oh gosh Mama.....I’m sorry to hear this. Honestly he may recover better being with you guys cause we all know you don’t get much rest in the hospital. I pray this all comes to pass soon

Mama... I wonder if the antibiotic shots will make him sick to his stomach like regular antibiotics can and do? He may need some Florastor, it’s a must have when taking antibiotics here.

Well the insurance won't pay for him to be admitted if he lives within a certain milage from the doctors office..were a hop away. I don't even know why he was given a choice when it was no choice at all. Now if he's not showing at least a slight improvement within 24 hours he will be admitted. He got his first injections tonight..two of them..one in each cheek. (Snark) he's in bed sleeping soundly now. He's very mad at his doctor though. Considering his doc knows him and knows he won't stay home from work willingly she faxed a letter over to Mikes boss stating he can't work until farther notice. By law his boss had to follow the doctors orders. Mike had no idea the doctor was going to do this but I did. So Mikes irritated. Yes we need the $ but I need Mike. He's just too darn stubborn to know what's best for him but I do and he now has no choice but to rest.

Thank you all for your support. I'm really very lucky to have so many wonderful friends.

OMG what else can happen, indeed! Life just keeps putting potholes in your road. Hopefully your hubby will sleep a lot due to the antibiotics, and not fuss about missing work. This is serious. (((Hugs)))

Thinking of you. I'm sure you are the best nurse he could have. And he can rest assured that the bedding is clean!

You don't need that man, strep, or pneumonia in your house. But it's none of my business either. My God, woman, when do you sleep? I have so much empathy for you that I am going to take some more of my pills and go to bed.

God bless you and everyone in your house.

P.S. Just a hint: I keep giving my hubs hot "Sleepy Time" tea as many times a day as I can to keep him knocked out. It's a natural herbal tea with valerian and it works! For me too, hint, hint.

I'm so sorry Mama! I hope he gets better soon.

Positive thoughts!

I am sorry to hear this, too! I am thinking about you and your family often. I hope things get better soon! XO

Ugh!! Stress brings illness and boy does your family have stress right now. Please take care of yourself, as well as you take care of everyone else. My thoughts are with you as always. As before message me if anyone wants to know how to help.

Wow! I just saw this thread. I'm praying for Mike's full recovery and for God to give you grace to see him through this illness. Remember to take good care of yourself too! Eat well and sleep as much as you can.

Ughhh, I am so sorry!! Sending a very big hug, from a very windy, smoky, ashy and fire covered Los Angeles :(

Praying for a quick recovery!

Mama, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and really hope everything works out with Mike, the kids, the furnace.

Thank You everyone.

Mike has greatly improved. I can tell from his attitude. .lol.

He will return to work tomorrow part time light duty.

Things are quieting down here....yea.

All your positive thoughts and Prayers are working. Thank You.

Pat the sleepy time tea...should I spike it with something? LOL.

Love you all

And we all love you MamaP

That 7 blossom tea someone here recommended for calming the h*ll down when I met a large bear at my front door...Good night! Worked like nobody's business. Lights out. Give that to Mike. Side effect: *you'll* get some peace, quiet and rest. lol

Yay MamaP!!!!! Whew!!!!!!

MamaP glad he is going back to work and getting out of your hair. He is going to be soooooooo tired for a while, but all the better for him to stay out of your way.

Yay!!!
