[tri-med] pneumonia

Tierney had pneumonia two weeks ago and did beautifully on antibiotics. 
She finished on Monday am and by Wed was coughing again. At recheck 
today, the pneumonia was back. She is not as sick as she was the first 
time--is still eating pretty well.

Anyone else had problems with this?? Tierney is orally fed, but has 
never been checked for aspirating, I doubt it because she has never had 
a problem like this before...but you never know.

(What I would like to hear is "oh yeah, we had a couple of problems 
like that, but then my baby got better and did great." Thank you very 
much.) I don't like to think about how many T18 babies die of 
pneumonia.

My boys go to public school, but have not been sick at all, no colds 
even.

Thoughts?
