I wish that they'd taken Dusty's tonsils & adenoids out and put tubes in when he was little. I've had a couple doctors since we moved (the GP & the ENT) tell me that they should have. It's hard, but what they go through otherwise can be worse. Dusty's been through a lifelong series of problems that finally led to surgery at 17. The ENT says the next tonsillitis they're coming out too. At 20, it's much harder on you than as a child, so I'm not looking forward to it.
As for the swaps, it's what keeps me going sometimes. No getting rid of me anytime soon.
