He went on to explain if it is Whooping Cough, I would be contacted by a government official. When I told the night manager at the store she was very blase'. Apparantly her little sister had it.

(I need to google) I remember when my children were smaller, if they woke up during the night with this type of coughing, a steamy shower would help so much. Get yourself back into healty mode! Take care and rest, rest, rest.

Originally Posted By JazzCat Thanks you guys. Ajnhollysmommy, that e-card was hilarious! I won't know if it's Whooping Cough for five days or so. I really don't think it is as it's very contagious and neither C.J. nor my sister have any symptoms. C.J. had a day of coughing about a week ago, but felt better the following day. My spirit is good, but it takes a huge effort to get out of bed or chair (and I want to sleep all the time) because I'm completely drained of energy. My doctor gave me four prescriptions for whatever it is so hopefully I'll feel better soon!
