Whooping Cough

Just to let everyone know – Issy and Michaella’s baby sister Charlotte came down with pertussis, or “whooping cough”, which is highly contagious and characterized by uncontrollable coughing.  Issy and Michaella have therefore been exposed to it, and Issy had some coughing as well.  They are all on antibiotics now – but as a precaution, their parents wanted to let you know that if your child gets sick and goes to the doctor, be sure to mention that he or she has been around someone exposed to pertussis. 

Please pray that everyone is well right here before nationals and it won’t be an issue, and also pray for baby Charlotte as she recovers from pertussis, which is much more serious for babies.  Thanks!
