Baby CPR...

Dear son,

We took a class tonight on performing CPR on infants. It was very thorough, and the teacher was a very pleasant woman. It was interesting, but also it was a little scary. Still, it's better to know how to do it than not to. I hope we never, ever have to use it. The comforting thing is that if a baby is born healthy and fully developed, you'll almost never have to worry about administering CPR due to sudden spontaneous cardiac arrest, which is great. You'll only have to worry about administering it due to trauma or choking. How comforting. The class was very hands-on, and also very brief, since we were the only couple there for some reason. That meant we were the focus of attention the whole time, which enabled us to proceed quickly. I think I actually spent more time in the Lincoln Tunnel than I did in the classroom, which just goes to show you that New York City traffic is the pits.

Love,
Dad
