Thanks guys. The Dr. gave S a 3 day course of Zithromax which he finished yesterday. He was having a rough time last night, but is perkier this morning and not coughing so much.
I am watching S closely. I'm paranoid about it because 4 months after H left, my father was so tired all the time. One day when he had to stop while driving home one morning because he couldn't stay awake, his Dr. told him to go to the ER. His oxygen level was in the low 70s. They admitted him right away and hooked him up to O2.
In the middle of the night they had to call my mother because he still wasn't getting enough oxygen with the mask. They put him on a respirator that night and he was on that for the next 5 weeks, mostly in a medically induced coma, trying to clear his lungs from pneumonia. When he was weaned off that he had a tracheotomy for two weeks before he finally got to go home 70 lbs lighter. That's my only real life experience with pneumonia so I'm very paranoid! Of course S isn't a fifty-something 3 pack a day smoker. 5 weeks unconscious got rid of that habit though!
