Sick kids

What is it when kids are sick they still have A LOT of energy?! For the past few weeks there has been a cold running through the family. Ethan has been the same Energetic Ethan only with a stuffy nose at night until early Monday morning when he came in our room complaining he couldn't breath and his belly hurt. When I picked him up to help him to the bathroom "to get sick" he felt like he was on fire! The thermometer had to have been broke cuz it said 104.0! I through him in a cool tub and gave him some medicine. First thing in the morning he went to the Dr. It wasn't time for another dose again so I grabbed his medicine on our way to the Dr. so when it was time we would have it. When they took his temp it was 103.7! So I guess our thermometer isn't broken after all. The Dr. gave him some medicine QUICK. He looked real bad that day. Thank Goodness he didn't have to go to the hospital. He has Pneumonia. Poor kid has probably had it for about a week. It was the first time I didn't run him to the Dr. for a cold and look what happens. It's scary when your child is running around and there are no symptoms of anything but a common cold (only at night) and the very next morning your child is having a hard time breathing and is very lethargic with a very high fever. That has to be the worse part about being a parent is when your child is sick and hurting and you can't make it go away. Breaks my heart:( By the way. Does anyone have anything special they use on carpet stains? I'm not very good with getting stains out of the carpet. Thanks!
