The finger...

Dear Nicky,

So this morning your OT says to look at your finger, the left-hand middle one, so I do and I see that the tip is red and swollen and there's pus beneath the surface. Luckily, your nanny came today, so i was able to take you to the docs without having to tote Junie along. The theory is that it was some kind of hangnail that got infected. You've got a topical and oral antibiotic, and we're supposed to wash it three or four times a day. It seems fairly minor now, but you cried so hard when you got it lanced and squeezed. And you also wanted to take a nap, so you were tired and in pain when we got home. It was sad, but I think you'll be okay in no time.

Love,
Dad
