John had another bad night last night with the the congestion etc. Spent a lot of the night in his chair.First thing this morning I called the doctor to get an appointment - only to learn that he will not be back all this week. So it was either go to emergency or a walk in clinic. Opted for the clinic in hopes that the wait would be shorter. It was. Only a 2 hour wait. Sure enough, he has pneumonia so the doctor prescribed antibiotics and hopefully he will begin to improve by tomorrow. I am expecting a bad night tonight. In fact, his bedtime was really bad - between the meds not kicking in fast enough, and the coughing, he had a hard time settling in. I had to lay and try and hold him to keep his arms from thrashing around quite violently. In about 20 minutes he finally went to sleep. How long that will last I don't know.
Please pray for healing for the pneumonia.

Two thumbs down today.
