"Gavin started coughing, just occasionally, one cough here, one cough there. A few nights into that we got a little bit more concerned than we had been before, and we decided to take him into the Emergency Room just to be checked. But when they decided to admit him, I was... I was very surprised. It was just a few days after that, that he still was not improving, and they transferred him down to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, or the PICU. They had gotten a positive test result which... which indicated pertussis.
And from there it was, um, a very quick decline. He was very ill, and it was um... it was fast. And it was terrible. We watched him die from pertussis. We um, sang to him, and we spent as much time right at his side as we possibly could. And my husband put his hand on his chest, and was just feeling for those last beats of his heart. And within moments, he was gone. We um, we left the hospital with empty arms. And um, it was a really terrible thing."

As a matter of fact, even when you get your baby vaccinated against pertussis, he or she may not be fully protected until they\'ve had at least 3 doses. The problem is that parents and other caregivers of infants, like you, are the ones who most often spread pertussis to babies. In adults, this disease is often mild and mistaken as a common cold or bronchitis. So you could easily pass it on to your baby and not even know you have it.
So call your doctor now. Ask about the adult pertussis vaccine and make an appointment to get your booster today. The CDC and over 20 medical societies recommend it."

I was very surprised. It was just a few days after that, that he still was not improving, and they transferred him down to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, or the PICU. They had gotten a positive test result which... which indicated pertussis.
And from there it was, um, a very quick decline. He was very ill, and it was um... it was fast. And it was terrible. We watched him die from pertussis. We um, sang to him, and we spent as much time right at his side as we possibly could. And my husband put his hand on his chest, and was just feeling for those last beats of his heart.
