Yesteday Pumpkin had to go the ER with symptoms of pneumonia.  She had labored breathing (belly breathing), fever, cough, and lethargy.  The lethargy is one of the biggest symptoms for her as she's such an active little 3 year old.  The ER confirmed it but it took them a long 5 hours to do it.  After 3 nebulizer treatments and a dose of steroids, we were sent home.  The ordeal, start to finish, was 8 hours long.  For the most part, the ER staff was wonderful but there were some really bad staff members.  One particular person obviously wanted to be elsewhere as he had his phone with him at all times and paid too much attention to it.   

As this is her 3rd bout of pneumonia in a 12 month period, she will have to visit a lung specialist (pulmonologist).  I hope it's not something too bad and that we can do something to prevent the pneumonia.  It's got to be hard on her little body.
