Nice news...

Dear Nicky,

Today we went to see Doctor Moscowicz in New Providence. He, like everyone who meets you, was very impressed. Whenever a new doctor takes a good look at you, he or she always asks if you've been karyotyped. And why not? You look good, you sound good, you're alert and active. He said we might not have to wake you at midnight to feed you anymore because he doesn't want you getting fat. He also said you seem like a typical kid in many ways, and in other ways you're ahead of the curve in comparison with other kids. He also gave us the name of a geneticist out in New Jersey. He wants all three of us to get our blood tested, you know--for fun. So there's yet another doctor we're going to meet, another doc for you to impress. We're probably going to go exclusively to him for your general pediatric care, even though I do like that Dr. Ward. Both she and Dr. Moscowicz seem nice and competent, but it really is easier to get out to New Providence and back from there, than it is to get into Manhattan and back again. The last time we were in Manhattan, it took us two hours to get home, what with the traffic. And with the parking, it's crazy.

Love,
Dad
