Wife's on day 3 with pneumonia: temps of 104.9

[Superwho]

I wasn't going to reply but my mother in law caught pneumonia and put off going to the doctor for a couple days and ended up dying in her sleep. She was only 46. It can get serious fast

Shit can kill you. Keep an eye on her temperature.

yea pneumonia is what killed three of my family members, albeit they were all over 55. When it gets north of 104 is when I get nervous .......

Damn. Prayers for her that she fully recovers.

Thanks man, I truly appreciate it.

This pneumonia is crazy stuff. Wife is the healthiest person I've ever known. 3 days ago she feels really bad, goes to doctor and her temp was 104.6 and they send her to the hospital. So now we are on day 3 and every few hours her temperature is still spiking to above 104. I don't get it, I thought fever was something you could get past fairly quickly but I guess not.

Anyone else had a family member or friend with pneumonia? How long were they in the hospital?

I had it the past 2 years out of nowhere and my temp ran about 105ish the whole time. It took a week to get convinced to hit the doctor's office but they had me in for 2 days or so and medicated to help my breathing. Just keep an eye on it and her in the hospital.
