Sore throat...

Dear Nicky,

You seem much better today, and you slept the whole night through. Mom and I are so relieved. We've got to keep giving you antibiotics for another eight days to make sure we get it. We're also giving you Motrin to keep the pain at bay. These two things together have really helped.

My throat is worse today, unfortunately, and I haven't kissed you at all today in the weak hope that you might not catch it. I just took some Nyquil and I think it's kicking in already, so I'm going to call it a night.

Love,
Dad
