Good news, bad news...

Dear Nicky,

So you and June had a pretty nice day. Granny came in the afternoon and brought some stew for us all to have, which was nice, since there really hasn't been much time to cook. Papou was very loving to you all day, and Yiayia kept going on about how beautiful both you and your sister are. Later, I took them to the nearby urgent care clinic because Yiayia's still in a lot of pain, is nauseous, and hasn't eaten or drank hardly anything. I was especially worried because she had black spit-up for a while, and that could indicate internal bleeding. Well, they took some more X-rays, ran some blood tests, looked her over, and the good news is she didn't have internal bleeding. The bad news is she has a compression fracture of one of her backbone disks. The doctor said she couldn't tell if it was old or recent. She gave her some prescriptions and we'll see how those go. We were there five hours, while you were here with Mom and Granny. It was a long day, and I think there's a few more ahead of us, I'm afraid.

Love,
Dad
