Yes. She is manager of the Pulmonary Clinic at IU/Annette hospital. Four beautiful children. We did have to put a warning sign on our front door.

I had it in ‘80. It was the start of my middle school years, and I missed the first week, but that was all. Not a real big deal.
The doctor then said no more tonsils. But I did not get them out until New Year’s (partly missed getting back to school again). No strep throat ever since (I had it alot) - and they don’t like to take tonsils out now!

If the unvaccinated caught it, where did it come from? Just like whooping cough, TB, etc. there was none until the Southern invasion. They were unvaccinated before and there were no raging epidemics. Every instance, repeat, every instance has been triggered by the invasion force from the South or Obama’s refugees.

My youngest had his adenoids taken out and I couldnt understand why they wouldnt take his tonsils too. He wasnt having trouble with strep or sore throats but his adenoids were stopping his breathing in his sleep. Four kids and none of the rest got scarlet fever. Only once did all six of us get sick. The flu! Im sorry I havent forgotten that! 😜
