Pneumonia times two

A few weeks ago Lydia had a cough that just wouldn't go away.  We decided to take her to the doctor and see what was up. After a chest x-ray she was diagnosed with pneumonia.  She didn't like her medicine, but we got her through it and she started to feel better.

Fast forward a few weeks...Bethany and MaryAnne have had symptoms of fevers, headaches, and coughs.  MaryAnne had been down on the couch since Wednesday.  Friday afternoon I decided that it wasn't getting any better and we probably needed to do something. I took MaryAnne down to the walk-in clinic.  Sure enough, MaryAnne has pneumonia now also.  I think Bethany probably has walking pneumonia, but she seems to be handling it alright.  MaryAnne finished her antibiotic today. She stayed home from church because she still doesn't have much energy. 

We are grateful for modern medicine and all they can do to help us when someone is sick.  We are also grateful for priesthood blessings. Neil and Matthew gave Lydia and MaryAnne blessings.
