Back home again...

Dear Nicky,

It's so good to be home again, isn't it? We stayed overnight at the hospital, so last night's entry was hand written and will need to be imported here eventually. Basically it was an uncomfortable and exhausting night, but everything went well and there were no complications and this morning the docs checked you out and pronounced you fine and dandy. You look like you've been attacked by a lawnmower down there, but Doc Schlussel said it'll pass. I must give you props for your great spirits the whole time, even when you were scared and in pain. Every nurse that came in did a double take at how cute you are. When I tried stretching out and getting some rest around three or four this morning, my sciatica made my right leg jump like a dog being scratched. You're running a little fever, so we gave you some Tylenol with codeine. You're appetite's getting better and better, so we take that as a good sign. Since no one got much rest last night, we hope you get plenty tonight, here in your own home.

Love,
Dad
