How do you spell T-O-N-S-I-L-L-I-T-I-S?



Last night Jilly was beginning to feel a little under the weather. She said that her head was hurting and her throat was dry and was beginning to hurt. Over the course of the day she developed a fever and was seriously getting ill. Throughout the night she was having a hard time swallowing and as a result, a hard time breathing. when we woke up this morning I took a look down her throat to find that one of her tonsils had swollen the right side of her mouth shut and there was just a little space for her to breathe out of on the left. Scared the crap out of me. Anyone who knows jillian well, knows she can only breathe out of her mouth when she sleeps, so it was potentially serious. Thanks to Pop and Alex, Jillian has some antibiotics and is recovering well. She is a tough girl.

That is so scary. I know exactly how that feels and it is not fun. We hope you get feeling better and make sure to rest and take that medicine.

HOLY CRAP IN A BAG! I'm glad that jillian is okay. I'm suprised she didn't have anything in her personal pharmacy, which includes german medicine as well, to fix "enlarged tonsil/ brething obstruction!"

You are just supposed to rip those things out right?

I think I've caught your sickness because I woke up with a sore throat yesterday. Can you be contagious from Utah to CA? Take care of yourself. I want some magic medicine from your cabinet. And I want Dad to check my throat with a Q-tip.
