Easter Egg Hunt / Brian to Urgent Care

Today started with an egg hunt for the Roda clan kids in the backyard of my parents house. My cousins – Manang Beverly, Manong Greg, and Manang Betsy – bought over 400 eggs, filled them with candies, and hid them. They then gave a bag to each kid with the kid's name written on it for them to fill with the eggs they found. The kids were so excited, and had such fun finding the eggs. It was so nice to see the older kids helping the younger ones. Kevin and Justin had a blast running around finding eggs, that they filled up more than two bags each. Kevin ended up giving all his eggs away to the younger kids.

Brian has had a fever for three days now, and today was no different. He didn’t even have the energy to fill up his bag with eggs. He found a few eggs, then went back into the house through the kitchen, and lay down on the kitchen floor right by the door. We knew that it was time to bring him to a doctor.

We took him to the urgent care in town, where after x-rays and blood work, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He will be treated with antibiotics as an outpatient. The doctors gave him a 24-hour antibiotic, Rocephin, by injection on both legs. They also gave us a prescription for Azithromycin for Brian to take orally.
