Matthew has pneumonia. Believe it or not, he isn't nearly as miserable as I would have expected. I know when I had pneumonia, it was one of the most awful things I've been through. I guess that says a lot for what Matthew's last month has been like. He is actually still improving in mood and demeanor from being off of the steroids. I've even seen a couple of giggles tonight - of course, he is on some pretty strong pain medicine.
They haven't said yet how long it'll be or what we can expect. There are several types of pneumonia, and some can be treated, while others have to just run their course. We're still in the process of determining his type of pneumonia. It'll probably take a couple of days.
I'll keep things updated as I know more. In the meantime, we're hanging out in the hospital today - probably for a few days.
I promise, it's not as bad as you might think. It feels more routine than before. Plus, I'm finally starting to get my sweet Matthew Burr back!
Hooray for no more steroids!!!
