Tessa does Pot

Last week when Jim returned home from a business trip I had to inform him that Tessa had done pot - and she had done it with the help from our neighbor! You should have seen the look on his face.

I very quickly told him that it was actually a Neti Pot! No worries

Tessa was having lots of sinus/allergies problems so we decided to try the Neti Pot - our neighbor swears by it! We had to go next door so Kaitie could show Tessa how to do it.

She was a little scared at first!
For those of you unfamiliar with how a Neti pot works - it looks like a little tea pot. You just lay the spout of the pot inside your nostril.

Then you just tip your head to the side and the pot and viola! Water with a little salt added is now running out the other nostril!


Tessa got it to work. Her first experience with Pot was successful!! Makes a mother proud!

It is suppose to be great for keeping your sinus' cleared out. The doctor recommended that Tessa do it daily to keep her sinus' clear.

The next day she tried it again but she was so swollen and congested she couldn't get the water to come out the other side. Off to the doctor for a prescription to get the swelling down!

Glad to hear the whole story. One of my friends was helping me on Friday night set up the garage sale and said the unusual smell was pot--she is a convert. Can't wait to get up in your neck of the woods. Hugs!

What a brave woman you are Tessa to allow these pictures go on the internet! Just tonight Wynn and I were "fighting" about which pictures I have shown to people while he was on his mission. I can't wait to see this in action :)

p.s. I hope it helps!!!
