Sick day...

Dear Nicky,

So yesterday we went to the party at our next door neighbors' house. Very nice time, and very nice people. It was later in the evening so you and June were both asleep and your nanny came over that afternoon with her daughter, and the two of them kept an eye on you kids. Not that you needed an eye kept on you; you guys slept the whole time, but right around 11 o'clock or so, you had an attack of what seemed like the croup, with all the attendant scary inability to breath right. Well, last night we were up all night; it was very tense. This morning Mom took you to the docs, who said it's not croup, just like a bad cold or something. I don't know if I buy that. You slept most of the day today, which was good. We dosed you a couple times so far, but you don't want to do too much of that sort of thing. We also found that a steamy hot bathroom full of, er, steam is great for opening you up. Tonight we'll see how you do overnight. Be strong and healthy, darling boy!

Love,
Dad
