Whooping Cough


Clay got whooping cough in late November.  Still to this day, late February, he struggles with it.  He was quarantined to our home for seven days and we were all put on a round of antibiotics.  Evan and I had have recent tetanus shots which included the pertussis vaccine so we were spared.  Clay was not!
This sickness was horrible.  Clay would cough until he passed out.  He broke several ribs with the violent coughing fits.  And there was NOTHING we could do about it.  The doctor said the cough could last ten weeks or so and it has.  We are looking forward to a healthy spring season.
