Jiminy cricket...!
Dear Nicky,
Sorry about yesterday's post being so short. Lately, I've been running out of steam in the not too early evening and I'm practically falling out of my chair from sleepiness. Tonight I'm hopped up on Diet Coke so I'm pretty good to go right now. Anyway, yesterday was your first time back to Stepping Stones. It was like the Return of the King! Everybody was so happy to see you. They all raved about how good you looked and how nice your color was. Your PT Ruth said you did excellent, especially considering it was your first day back after an absence of a month. Your ST Jessica was most impressed with your feeding skills, the way you latched on to a bottle and wouldn't let go. Your OT Maria, who we don't even see on Tuesdays, stopped by to go on and on about you. She seemed so happy and proud for you. I think everyone there likes you, but I think she's especially nuts for you because you have such an engaging manner. That was yesterday. Today Shelby came over and she was just crazy for you too. You have quite the little fan club of pretty girls. After flirting a little bit, you took some more formula and then went to sleep for a good long while. When you woke up you ate again and then we went to Doc Mock's office for your monthly Synagis shot. Doc Troussin checked you out and said you looked great. The nurse weighed you and found you to be--get this--17 pound, seven ounces. I couldn't believe it. I asked her to do it twice. It was right. This means you have gained nearly a pound since just five days ago, when we went for our flu shots last Friday. At that time you measured a sad, little 16 pounds, eight ounces. Holy moley! By Friday, one week exactly since flu shot day, I bet you will have gained a full pound if not more. It took a while to get the shot ready, but I didn't mind. We left on cloud nine and came home still elated. Seems like your ticker is working pretty nice, my boy!
Love,
Dad
