My brother called me today to let me know that my nephew tested positive for whopping cough :o( Friday my brother took my nephew in to the doctors because he had been coughing and sometimes throwing up afterwards, so they tested him for whopping cough. the doctor said he didn't think he had it(he has even had the vaccination), but they'd test him. the results came back today positive. DS is now on antibiotics as a precaution incase he has it, and since he's only 7 weeks old.
i feel bad for my brother because he feels awful that my nephew may have gotten him sick, but it's really nobodies fault. they had no idea. DS hasn't shown any real signs of having it. he was coughing a bit last week, but since the weekend hasn't really and the nurse said it sounds like that was a cold, because the cough would have gotten worse.
i'm gonna feel so bad giving him his medicine because they said it could upset his tummy, and he's already got a sensitive tummy. :o(
