That's what's making Matthew sick. The nurse said it's almost flu like, and common during the winter. We all usually get it multiple times in our life - usually before the age of five. It's worse than a cold, but not as bad as a flu. The symptoms are in the upper respiratory system - so it's like a really horrible cold. Similar to RSV.
He does have a little bit of shadow in one of his lungs, but the doctor said it doesn't look like bacterial pneumonia, which is good news. His oxygen saturation has stayed really good, and he's still eating well, so the doctor said she thinks we may be able to go home in a day or two.
In the meantime, this hospital stay is much better than the last one. He's sitting up and eating with a smile on his face. He rests a lot, but he's happier now, and that makes the rest of it much easier.
