Pneumonia

Jennifer took Little Mr. Caiden in for his check-up to clear him for his O.R. airways stretching procedure Dec. 6th and instead found that he has pneumonia!  He had a cold/flu about a week and a half ago, but seemed like he kicked it.  He didn't even act sick anymore.  So instead of getting cleared, he is on a 10 day regiment of antibiotics and then will go back to be checked again.  Pray for a quick recovery for sweet Caiden.
