Thanks everyone. This experience has truly been humbling!
Confess,
I'll be praying for you. I'm sure life must be very stressful right now.

I tell you what it has done. It has shown me that I didn't fully fear, love and trust in unless I had my home and all my money.
I think that sometimes God has to allow our circumstances to shake us so that we can truly see our need for him in our lives. Even now I wonder if my arthritis and bone spur aren't that for me as what you've been through is for you. May God draw you closer to him and his word.
I know there are one or two people on here who still like me – I would like to ask them for some prayers. This has been a rough month. My husband was in the hospital for 5 days at the beginning of the month with an atypical pneumonia. It got kind of scary there when his super high fever wouldn’t break, and we needed an infectious disease specialist to get the diagnosis and antibiotics that work. While it isn’t contagious by casual contact, it is when you spend almost the entire time in the hospital room with him, so I came down with the same thing two weeks later. I got the correct medication right away, so I didn’t get bad enough to be in the hospital, but having a taste of what he went through was bad enough. For the first time in my career, I’ve gone through all my sick days, and managed to do it all in one month!
Anyway, we are both feeling much better but we both still need an inhaler to help with the coughing – we both sound like we’ve been smoking for decades. I still have another week of antibiotics and I have a follow up with my doctor tomorrow.
We are supposed to fly to Aruba this Saturday for my sister’s wedding on Monday. There’s going to be 9 of us friends and family down there with her. Please pray for safe travels for everyone and a smooth time with the actual wedding part – there’s been some paperwork snags with that. Also prayers that we both stay well, at least through the end of the year until we get more sick days.
While I don’t post much, I do check out the prayer requests and know that you all remain in my prayers.

My prayers are, indeed, with you and your husband. What a spell of difficult times. May God strengthen, bless, and protect you through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ignore the argumentative nature of this poster. He is old and can't engage
in meaningful dialog very long. Management asks that you at least humor him. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Hey Flip (previously Radidio). Great seeing you again. Sure have missed you. Prayers going out to both of you.
All I know is both my doctor and his doctor are saying that this atypical stuff is showing up more and more. What we learned from this is that if you find yourself with a deep unproductive cough and a fever, beg your doctor to skip the Z-pack and move on to the heavy stuff, like Levaquin, for at least 10 days (we both had to do 17 days). He ended up in the hospital because the Z-pack didn't clear it up and it came back with a vengeance. I stayed out of the hospital because I was given the Levaquin right away.
Also, the atypical stuff doesn't show up on a chest x-ray unless the doctor knows what to look for, so don't be surprised if the x-ray is clear, even if you have all the other symptoms. We both had "normal" x-rays that weren't really normal.

Is this a new resistant pneumococcal strain? I haven't hear of it out here and I'm only about 90 miles from you. Or is it just in the metropolitan areas?
Edited: I just researched it out. Walking pneumonia. I've heard of that. Akin to SARS and Legionella. Yuck.

If you look up mycoplasma (what we had) it will tell you that its fairly common and a Z-pack or amoxicillin will do the trick. It didn't with him. One site says that it's so mild that your body can treat it on its own. He thinks it was just a fluke with him, but I do wonder if it's become drug-resistant.
