Sound ticker...

Dear Nicky,

Today we went to good ol Dr. Solo to have him take a look at your heart. He was very pleased and said your heart function is excellent. You still have mild valve leakage, and that shunt is still there, but everything's holding steady, and you have no pulmonary hypertension or unusual cardiac enlargements. He says he doesn't need to see you for nine months. All in all, a very good exam. On the way home, we got White Castle, then I went and did a bunch of errands like getting a new TV for upstairs, ordering a sofa and loveseat, etc etc. When I got home you were already asleep. You were quite tired and cranky according to Mom, probably because you didn't nap this afternoon. Kid, you gotta nap more.

Love,
Dad
