Update - Today is 'my' Day 19. We are almost 3 weeks in. So far Cade is going well. Hardly any coughing. The only thing that I get worried about is that every morning, sometimes as early as 3am Cade wakes up and he is all congested. This happens every morning....we give him saline drops most mornings and it seems to clear him up straight away. The block doesn't seem to be in his nose exactly but maybe at the top of his throat, we're not sure.

I wonder now if this is part of the whooping cough or just something that little babies get. These days I can't tell the difference between a 'normal' baby thing and what might be a symptom of whooping cough. Can anyone offer any advice on the congested part of things?

Other than that Cade is a happy 8 week old boy. (2 weeks older than when diagnosed) He is feeding well and sleeping well and he is alert and happy.
