Tonsils anyone?

Kaitlyn, today we found out that you need to get your tonsils and adenoids taken out. You have been coughing since Thanksgiving and we have exhausted all other avenues. You have been on antibiotics, steroids, cough medicines, inhalers and nebulizers oh my! Seriously, you are a walking medicine cabinet and we are all about done with it, I imagine you most of all.

Needless to say you were not happy to hear this news. Your ginormous tonsils have brought a uniqueness to and you said you would feel less special without them. Well let me tell you little girl, you are about the most special girl on the planet. Tonsils, schmonsils. You would be unique and special and amazing even if you never had tonsils. And don’t you ever think anything different. So, I’ll tell ya what. Let’s take a picture of those bog ol’ tonsils and I’ll make you cards that you can hand out to people when you meet them. ‘Hello, my name is Kaitlyn and here are my enormous tonsils’. What’s your name?’ Whatta think? Will that work for you?

I love you, tonsil-less and all.

This post brought to you by my constricted lungs

After spending the day trying not to hack up a lung, I finally acquiesced and went to urgent care at 7:30 last night. An hour and a half, one breathing treatment and four prescriptions later my lungs are throwing me kisses. It's amazing how I spend 9 hours coughing and not think it's something more than a cold. (What's more amazing is why the people who sit outside my office didn't mutiny and physically escort me from the office to save themselves from my excessive hacking.) Oh, and cough syrup with Codeine is not a bad thing. Just saying....
