Yup, you read that right: US Whooping Cough Outbreak Could Be Worst in Half Century. Right here, CDC! I think we finally have a diagnosis.
Lately, synonymous with "dinner" |
in short, being the MOM around here...
I hadn't realized how close I was to the edge until round about 1:15 today, when Larry called from his cellphone, running late, suggesting he just meet me at Rachel's band camp concert instead of driving us all there.
Poor man - guess who got an earful of crazy, spewed by a sleep-deprived, sick (have I mentioned the whooping cough?), keeping-it-all-together wife who suddenly realized that she could not do ONE MORE THING (other than go upstairs and lie down for several hours, that is).
I feel sort of bad about missing that concert, though.

I actually heard that on the radio this morning and thought of you! I hope you are better soon. Being sick sucks.
ReplyDeleteI do believe I mentioned that option (for your child, not you) a few posts back. Get thee to a doctor!
ReplyDeleteI read that same article...which I then forwarded to 2 of my friends who had been complaining about their kids coughing and had, when I asked about whooping cough....replied that they had the vaccine so they couldn't have it! I hope you are cured now that you finally have a diagnosis. Now, go back to bed and let the troops fend for themselves a bit more! Sorry about the concert too....
ReplyDeleteWhooping Cough has been a huge problem in San Diego for quite a while. Our kids couldn't go to school last year without their booster shots.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon!
And the symptoms are milder because of the vaccine so the doctors don't think of diagnosing whooping cough.
ReplyDeleteOh to have a diagnosis and hopefully renewed health around the corner! Wishing you much rest and much less coughing.♥
