So, my mom went to the hospital earlier this morning for reasons that are still unclear to me, but my dad just called me a few minutes ago and told me that the docs say she has pneumonia. Now, as far as I now, that's like, the killer disease for fictional characters, and in real life too. I just... I don't know what I need. Just help, please. --Mal.
First, I apologize if I haven’t been responding to your messages. I think tumblr ate a few of them.
Secondly, pneumonia is very treatable with basic antibiotics, usually penicillin. Sometimes people are allergic or they can get certain kinds of pneumonia that are resistant, but those are both pretty uncommon. Before antibiotics, it was pretty dangerous, but today it’s very curable.
I actually had pneumonia when I was in 4th grade. It’s kind of miserable to have, and I missed about a week of school, but after being on penicillin for about two days, I was fine.
I really, really hope everything turns out okay for you. In the meantime, I’ll keep you in my thoughts. *Internet hugs.*
