Day after the shots...

Dear Nicky,

This morning you ran a temperature as a result of the shots you got yesterday. I'm sorry to say we (meaning I) had to take your temperature rectally. You had a low-grade fever, and we gave you some infant Tylenol. Despite the fever, your appetite never faltered. Man, you can eat. Later, a woman came over from Early Intervention to evaluate you. The evaluation consisted of her mostly asking us if we thought you did this, and if we thought that you did that, etc. She was nice enough, and it's nice to get the ball rolling on this endeavor. You're about to meet a whole new bunch of people, Nick. She spent a good amount of time with us, and when she finally left, after making you vomit from too much activity, we took your temperature again and we're delighted to see your temp go down. You're very strong, my boy, and I'm proud of you for something different every day.

Love,
Dad
