Streptococcus Pneumonia

It isn't good when the ER calls you to come back. Two days after Dale's initial visit to the ER and enough time for the lab results in the blood cultures indicated that he has Streptococcus Pneumonia. They gave him an IV anti-biotic and sent us home with a prescription for more anti-biotics. This makes sense. He battled fevers for the last three days, felt totally lousy, and now we know, more so, why. This  is emotionally very difficult for him. I believe I understand and will continue to keep the peace around here.
