Memorial Day...

Dear Nicky,

Today was Memorial Day, and it was completely uneventful. You've got my cough, I'm afraid. I hope it doesn't get as bad as mine. Your fever's gone, though, so that's good. We gave you a bath and trimmed your hair. You've got a little heat rash on the back of your neck, so we put some Baby Gold Bond powder on. It was really hot out today, but inside it's nice and cool. Mom and I argue about just how cool t make it. She worries about you being too hot and I worry about you being too cold. We just want you to be comfortable. I don't like being cold, and I especially hate the feeling of cold air-conditioned air wafting over me. It freaks me out. Tomorrow we go see Doc Mock, who'll give you the once-over regarding your antibiotic treatment, and we'll discuss the fever from last week.

Love,
Dad
