Round 3
Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 09:40AM FYI. Yes, indeed. The incubation period for walking pneumonia is about 2-3 weeks. Micah can attest to this.
Fun times.
Fortunately, knowing the symptoms so well, we think/hope we caught this one early and have already taken him to see the doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics. Considering that he's doing much better today, I think we called it right. (As in, the meds are working so we seemingly got the right thing diagnosed even though when I took him in the doctor said his chest was still clear. She agreed, though, that all the symptoms sounded like walking pneumonia, and ruled out most everything else, and was happy to call in the prescription for us the next day after the fever had come back and the coughing had worsened.)
Bleh.
Do you suppose there's any chance we won't see a round four in a couple weeks?
