WHOOPING COUGH (3 1/2 YRS OLD)

S's preschool has seven cases of confirmed whooping cough: 3 found during the week of Thanksgiving and 3 found last week. Momma and daddy have taken the precaution of having S take antibiotics and tested when the fist cases were discovered, but have not done anything that drastic with the second cases. The antibiotics are suppose to last for awhile even though they are already finished with. Momma hopes with the second cases of whooping cough that more parents will get their children immunized or leave the kids at home when sick.

Speaking of sick, S has missed four days of school (approximately three weeks) this semester due to being sick. Momma thinks most of her illness has been preschool related. Since previously, she had only been sick 5 times in the past 3 years.
