Resurrection Bay RV Park Seward, Alaska Day 2

We were at the Seward Community Health Center before 9 am.

We met Chet, the doctor who cared for Tim.  He walked in wearing a plaid button down and jeans.  He looked like the very image of a small town doctor.  He was a kind and gentle man from Tennessee.  We wished we had taken his picture, I am sure he would have obliged.  Tim had a fever of 101.5, wheezes, and rattles.  Diagnosis:  pneumonia.  Dr. Chet treated him very aggressively with a nebulizer and injections of antibiotics and steroids.  He sent us home with two kinds of oral antibiotics, oral steroids, an emergency inhaler, and steroidal inhaler.

We knew we weren’t going anywhere today.

Lots of rest and fluids and soup for dinner.  Tim is already feeling a little better.
