The Tonsils the Dr. didn't want to see

These are what Aubrie's Tonsils look like today! She is miserable and running a fever! She can't eat and can barely sleep she is in so much pain! Before you yell at me for posting such a disgusting picture let me tell you the whole story "in a nut shell because I could go back years on this one". Aubrie was bit by our cat Chester on Wednesday! It began to swell and look horrible by that evening so I took her to our Dr. Well our Dr. is actually on vacation and won't be back until this next Thursday, so we had to see his PA. Dun, dun, dun, you know what comes next right, that appointment went fine, they put Aubrie on Augmentin, and said bring her back if it starts to look worse in a couple of days and not better. Well it was gross, red streaks, ooozing puss, swelling, the works. However, by Saturday it was looking better, but then Aubrie stated complaining that her throat hurt. By the very early morning hours of Sunday she was running a low grade fever. I took her back to the same PA on Sunday and all she did was look at her arm and declare based on Aubrie's history of allergies and tonsil infections (which I should add at this point is every other month)that it must be viral, and since she is already on an antibiotic, we should give her pain meds. and benadryl, and come back when she is done with the ten days of antibiotic. I get that she couldn't do any tests because Aubrie is already on an antibiotic, but she could have at least looked and made sure they weren't abscessed (with Aubrie's history this is a very real possibility). So enjoy this horrific picture and pray for Aubrie to get well soon. As a side note we have a consultation with her ENT on Thursday to have these removed!

Jeana's internal struggles!

Have you ever seen that episode of Myth Busters where they tested whether or not fecal matter gets onto the things in your bathroom when you flush the toilet? Well I did and it has forever scarred me. According to this episode when you flush with the lid up there is fecal matter emitted into the air and rests on the things in your bathroom, like for instance your toothbrush. Since watching this I always put the lid down before I flush the toilet and I cannot leave things in the bathroom that are not meant to stay in the bathroom, for instance magazines or books. This brings me to my internal struggle if I do not allow reading materials to be in the bathroom then what am I to do when I find that what I thought was a quick trip to the bathroom turns out to need more time than I allotted. I found my self in this very conundrum this morning and was home alone with no one to call out to, to bring me something to peruse, while I awaited this call of nature to resolve itself. I suppose it is time to reevaluate my convictions and decide, which is better sitting quietly with my thoughts (which results in this ridiculous diatribe), or allowing reading material in my bathroom? Go ahead weigh in if you dare to have an opinion on this potty drivel.
