Linn,

There's no magical rock down in the creek that I can find to send along that will help clear all of this away. But as for the coughing, does Tom have a teddy bear or something to hug? We went through all of these discussions after Kendall's surgery--what did he end up with? A Kangaroo? Does Tom have a critter preference? I have lots of stuffed animals around here, and I'm sure others close by you have some available as well. Tell us what kind of character or animal he might prefer and we'll put our heads together.
