Better still...

Dear Nicky,

You're doing even better today. You slept pretty well last night, woke up and ate okay this morning, and then again for lunch. You did very well even with your PT, which is challenging enough under the best of circumstances, let alone when you're not feeling well, but you did great across the board. This evening I tried to get some more yogurt into you, but you weren't having any, so I changed you and put some more Vick's for babies on your chest, and read a couple of books to you. You'd get tired of the books and put them away yourself and take out others. Fascinating to watch. So happy you're feeling better.

Love,
Dad
