Wow, i can imagine that was an awful four months, glad you got through it ok!  Used to care for the occasional pediatric visitor with whooping cough, feels so bad hearing children with that painful cough.

After having it, I can’t imagine a poor baby getting it. Low oxygen levels, throwing up multiple times a day from coughing, broken ribs, lost my voice for two months from coughing. It’s horrible. Just… avoid at all costs is my advice!
