A cure for congestion...

Dear Nicky,

You're awfully stuffy these days. Part of the reason for this is your heart condition, the other part might be due to weather or environment or the physical structure of your nose. Tomorrow we're going to an ENT doc (that's ears, nose, and throat) to have him take a look at you. Then Granny's going to watch you while I go into the city to give blood for your surgery. I can barely even think about it.

Love,
Dad
