Pertussis

Maryn spent this past Wedsnday-Friday in the hospital. We took her in to the Dr. because she’d been vomiting up almost everything she ate..the Dr. sent us to Children’s Hospital ER to get IV fluids so she wouldn’t dehydrate.

The ER did everything except hook her up to fluids… and eventually admitted her to the hospital proper.. we found out Thursday morning she had Pertussis (Whooping Cough). At her age..it can be lethal! =(

She’s home, and doing ok.. an interesting tidbit we found out while in the hospital.. Colorado ranks 49th in regards to % of children vaccinated.. so.. people not vaccinating their kids… put mine in the hospital.

If you’re a parent.. Vaccinate your kid dammit! it protects EVERYONE….
