Alex has done the vomiting thing with the pneumonia before. Poor little
Tierney.

Perhaps the antibiotics simply didn't clear out the pneumonia totally and it
just popped back quickly once they were done? Is she on a diff one for the
2nd go round?

As for the chest x-ray, we didn't have then done on Alex every time either.
If the statement was "this is how we'd treat him regardless of what the
x-ray shows" then it was a moot point and why radiate him. I was just
curious.

{{{{Mimi}}}}}   I'll second that!
