Both had a "cold" or "flu" that wouldn't go away. They take nothing to get rid of the congestion. Pneumonia bugs gain a foothold in the secretions in the lungs. It spreads and by the time they go for help and get some anti-botics its too late because its become systemic(in the blood) and your life is in real danger.
Moral of the story........if you have a cold or flu that won't go away go see a dr. and have them take a culture/swap and see if your life is in danger and you don't even know

A friend at work came close to death from the same thing. He'd been coughing and feeling weak and looking like crap for a couple of weeks. I'd been telling him nicely for a few days that he needed to see a doctor but he wasn't listening. Finally one morning I'd had enough and got real stern with him, told him to go to the emergency room and not to come back until he'd seen a doctor. He saw a lot of doctors, he was in the hospital for a week. If he'd gone earlier some antibiotics would have cleared him up in a few days. Dumb.
