Whopping Cough?

It was such a rough night last night so I decided Jude had to get to the doctor today.  Andy wasn’t going to take him while I was at work since his strategy that keeps him sane (but the boys cooped up) is to never leave the house outnumbered by little boys.   I’m so glad I brought Jude in.  They called Jude back right away since he was coughing up a storm.  The doctor felt pretty confident that Jude has whopping cough, but we won’t know for sure until Monday or Tuesday given the holiday weekend.  The doctor said that if it is indeed whooping cough, the Department of Health would be contacting me to get a list of everyone Jude had come into contact with.  Crazy that if it is such a big deal that they take such a long time to get the diagnosis.  Also crazy that Jude might have it since he was immunized against it.  So, we’re quarantined at home for the weekend. 

I also made appointments for both Jude and Levi to be tested for allergies since they get a ton of respiratory illnesses.  Will be nice to get to the botton of all this.
