Thanks, I will see if he has had the pneumonia shot - He is still in the hospital and we will see if they will discharge him today. Maybe he is better off in there since they can keep him hydrated but then they say one is more apt to get infections in the hospital. I have a trip booked in January for my parents 50th wedding (hope he makes it) but may try and go sooner.. It's a bit hard with 10 month old twins, (they take me and my husband to manage) work, and living across the country... We spent a week with him over Thanksgiving. The Dr's still cant seem to get his pain managed.
