    My kiddies had it last year. I am anul about vaccinations, and they still caught it! Our doc took swabs from back of mouth, no bloods or xrays. 3 out of 4 where possitive. We all had a 14 day period of antibiodic and stayed home. The cough lasts longer but after 14 day is no longer catchy (with antibiodic) I am so worried about another bout of WC when we have baby, my other kids 2-10yrs at the time, recovered well, and where playing and bounc,ing of th,e walls!

    I also had WC while pregnant in 2005, leaky bladder was the worst symptom!!

    We've had notes sent home alreaddy about recent WC in our school comunity :-[
