The diagnosis

Hi everyone

Rory has whooping cough! He was finaly able to see a proper GP, and we finally got some answers. Apparently there was a scare about vaccinations when Rory was a child, so he never received a few of the shots.

It is known as 'the 100 day cough' in adults, so we're probably in it for the long haul. The doctor said that the vomiting was likely due to a migraine, and that he also seems to be allergic to the virus.

Ironically, it was just reported on the national news this evening that there is beginning to be an epidemic of whooping cough here in New Zealand.

Love
Amy
