walking pneumonia

It's official. Kevin's got walking pneumonia....

As this is the our encounter with this bug, the initial diagnosis scared me. 'pneumonia' conjours up all kinds of nasty images of long bed rest, hospitalization, weeks of sickness, etc....fortunately it turns out that 'walking' pneumonia is a very mild type that doesn't require weeks of bed rest.

Amazing what you learn when you become parents...no wonder so many parents become semi-bratty know-it-alls. As a parent, one does in fact collect lot's of trivial and not so trivial knowledge about all things related to bodies, sleep, food digestions and developmental steps..maybe they should give parents (mothers) college credit for this. Might help with perceived notion mothers/fathers/homemakers don't do/learn anything anymore...
