What's Going Around: Walking Pneumonia

So how can you tell the difference between the common cold-- or the flu-- and something more serious. Emily is here with a look at how we can know if it's something more serious making us sick.

My daughter passed from walking pneumonia in 2008. She had NO SYMPTOMS, except she was tired, but she had a brand new baby to take care of, so I thought maybe that was why. But..I did ask her to please go to the doctor, but I think she didn't. She wasn't living at home because she was an adult and wanted her own place of course. But she moved kinda far away, so we talked on the phone a lot, but it's different when you're not seeing her as much. I honestly feel that she could have been healed if she DID go to the doctor, but I couldn't force her. I begged her to go, but she just didn't. My baby could still be here if she wasn't so stressed out by her so called boyfriend, who didn't give a damn. She came home to die, and I'm so glad that she was surrounded by love when she passed in her sleep. Somehow, she knew...that's what I think. And she wanted to be with her parents, because she always felt safe and loved here at home. It was always going to be her home, no matter what. And she knew that. I truly hope you are resting in peace my love, my sweet girl, my friend, my daughter....you meant so much to so many people. God is holding you gently in his arms my darlin'. I'll love you forever and always. "Sweet dreams, I love you, goodnight." That was every night when she was little.
