A few weeks ago, Harmon wasn’t feeling well. He was coughing a bit so we suspected just a summer cold but it turned out to be a little more than that. On Sunday, Aug. 22, he was having a tough time breathing. He would play a little and then crash on the couch, which never happens! And, when we ventured out to the U-M Football Fan Day, he couldn’t walk more than 10 feet or so without stopping to rest. So, the next day, we went to the doctor and he was diagnosed with pneumonia in his left lung. The highlight of the doctor’s visit (besides his stats – 41 pounds and 40 ¾ inches) was his x-ray. We told him he had to get a picture taken so he was smiling big when they were taking his x-ray! The doctor started him on some antibiotics and we continued with the breathing treatments we usually do when he gets a cold and he felt better right away. He got a little winded for a week or so but otherwise he was back to normal quickly.
FOLLOW-UP: He had a check-up at Simon’s 9-month appointment (on Sept. 4) and was given a clean bill of health!
