I get a cold. I get better. Mac gets a cold. He gets better. Shannon gets a cold. Seven days later, his cold is still getting worse. He’s in bed shivering with high fever. I get mad. What is taking so long? Normal people are sick for a day or two (like Mac and me) and then they are better. But Shannon is still sick. Finally he offers to go to the doctor. I think, sounds good, but whatever. Just get over it! Turns out, he has pneumonia. Pretty bad. To make a long story short, he’s admitted to the hospital for a few days for hydration and antibiotics. I feel horrible. I judged him. I got mad at him and he was really sick. I vow to never do that again. If he’s sick, take it seriously and get the help he needs!
