[tri-med] Re: pneumonia

I have 1st hand knowledge on this one.  It doesn't take 24 hours to show
up.  When Logan was in the NIUC and even in the other hospital he would
start showing signs of it within an hour or so.  Within a few hours it
would show on the chest x-ray.  Thank God we haven't dealt with that in
almost 2 years.

Mimi,
Just a note to say I hope Tierney on the complete mend very soon.

Isn't it hard to check for aspiration?  I've been told that aspiration
may
not show up on an x-ray until 24 hours after the episode causing it.
Does
that sound right?

I agree, it would freak me out if Mari got pneumonia.  Our docs ALWAYS
order
chest x-rays for the little Missy at the slightest chest rattle.  I like
the
cardiologist to check out the size of her heart at the same
times....since
it's so stinkin' big.  She's never had pneumonia...but has sure seemed
close
several times.  Do you have a nebulizer?  I'm sure I over use this, but
I
start it a the slightest chest rattling noises.

Anyway...get better soon little Tierney!

Blessings,
Chris mama to Mari full T18 (2 yrs)
