He had developed tics. Since Kris&#8217;s coughs were daily and wouldn\u2019t go away, I took him to see a family doctor. The doctor suggested that these tics might be Tourette&#8217;s syndrome and reassured us that they would likely stop on their own over time.

Family members, relatives, and acquaintances all commented on it. Other children would tell him, &#8220;Please don&#8217;t make that sound.&#8221; We went back to the family doctor and also had Kris examined by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
