Probably right. I did a little research this morning and I see how common developing pneumonia once in the hospital is. I never knew this.

I am now completely petrified to ever be hospitalized. Because now I am convinced whatever he has was completely worsened by going into the hospital.

riri, anything is possible, but I doubt that, seriously. A lot of patients with pneumonia have no cough at all, at first...even normal looking x-rays at first--remember, you told us that his wife said he had 104 fever one night? He was sick long before he went into the hospital...

Pneumonia is a very strange thing. I had double pneumonia while I was in the AF and didn't even know it. People in my career field were under orders to see a doctor at the slightist sign of illness, I felt a little sick and saw the doctor. During the part where they listen to you breath he heard something and sent me for x-rays. I had double pneumonia but felt like I had a very light cold. I was given 10 days sick leave and antibiotics. I spent 10 days at home and never really felt sick.
