Our family mission is to avoid doctors, hospital or anyone wearing scrubs! Russian medical care was difficult and time consuming, not to mention lacking in many areas. In Prague, Gid had a horrible medical experience and we had to have more than your average number of shots to live in Russia and AIDS testing with every Visa. It also seems like every time we would go to the doctor, the illness did not really require medical intervention and we would have wasted money.
So, after 24 hours of debating the absolute necessity of medical care, seeing his temp rise to 102.1, watching him struggle to breath, listening to him cough and counting his respitory rate (which at one point was a breath every second!) and being woke-up every 4 hours hours last night with complaints of pain, I decided to take Gid to the ER at 4:45 this morning! We got right in…since the rest of the World was sound asleep! The doctor did a chest x-ray, which confirmed that Gid has pneumonia! He did a breathing treatment at the hospital, got a shot of antibiotics and we were home in 2 hours!
I am sooo thankful that we went to the ER. Gid seems to be doing better already! The shot in the bum was traumatic, but overall our experience was very positive. I am thankful that we have a several wonderful hospitals and doctors surrounding us, they were able to give Gid a diagnosis, confirm it with x-rays, begin treatment and prescribe medicine.
Here was my movie reviews from yesterday!!! I do not know how I was able to sleep last night, since I walked a total of 50 steps, took a nap and got out of bed only for meals…which were frequent and abundant!!!
I also LOVE…
The highlight was, however, the season premier of…

Please continue to pray for Gid…pray for a quick and complete healing and that the rest of the fam would stay healthy!!!
