Found Out I have Pneumonia



Cough, vomiting, dizziness, chills, fever, headaches and weak body has been going on and off for about over a month. September 7, 2011, everything started kicking in. I have cough and been vomiting everyday. Being in pain is so hard and very painful for me. Each day is different day but for me wasn't different. They were all the same. Since then, my cough and vomiting continues. Never ending! I wasn't so sure what was going on with me. Everything wasn't normal at all. I don't get why I could not hold down foods in my stomach. All i can do is cry and cry to the pain. Month of October came, still the same. September wasn't a good month for me at all. Mostly, I've been out in school on that month. Not feeling good at all, that's why. Now, it is October. Still don't don't know what was going on. Drew Leibrock and I has been going to the hospital over and over just to see what is wrong with me. Doctors said, "it is part of the surgery she's been having. nasal dripping is one most reason for that. since tubes is in both nostrils, mucus can't come out in front but drips down to her throat which could make her vomit and cough hard." Now we understand the conflicts of these symptoms. I believe what the doctors have told us but suddenly, I noticed it wasn't because of my nose. There was something wrong inside my body which I could not find out what it is. Until, October 11, 2011 came. I wasn't feeling good at all. I could not hold down foods and now liquids on my stomach. Not very normal for me. I tried hot chocolate, hot tea, water, and iced tea but nothing was working. My stomach was very empty like a pocket. My guardian called the hospital and now, they want us in the Emergency Room in Yale Hospital. Nurses are coming in and out inside my room. They have put an IV on my right arm and took some blood too. One nurse listen to my lungs and that when it starts. She is worried something wrong with my left lung because she hear different sound there than the right one. I am getting nervous and scared. "What if something wrong? What will happen to me? Am I gonna stay here and get another surgery?" are the questions in my head. They want me to take a Chest X-Ray. When the results came out, I HAVE PNEUMONIA. Exactly on my left lung is infected. I was so down and very upset to myself that I didn't even know my body that well when it comes to this kind of situation. I don't know what else to do but to cry. Has been over a month I was felling like this and suddenly, we found out I have pneumonia. "Is this dangerous? Is this gonna kill me? What should I do? What should I do??" were more questions popping out in my head :( I was very sad and speechless for the rest of the night. Until now, October 15, 2011 I still have the pneumonia. Hoping it will go away soon..
