Pneumonia

News today is that Harrison has a bit of asthma as well as pneumonia... He had a chest x-ray yesterday, and is not a well boy. One of his lungs is a little collapsed. Poor little thing is mostly sleeping and coughing. Hardly eating at all. We had him in our room in his port-a-cot last night, behaving like new parents and listening intently to his breathing. He's a little trojan though - he is happy to hold the mask of the ventolin thing to his face and breathe in and out for me. I think he's intrigued by the contraption. Isn't so thrilled by taking medicine though. Simon is looking after him this afternoon, and will stay home with him on Friday as well. H goes back to the doctor tomorrow.

In retrospect this was very likely the infection that preceded Harrison getting coeliac disease.
