Somewhat better...

Dear Nicky,

Today was a lot of work. Basically it was like taking care of four infants. My mom kept saying she was worse than before. My father and I kept trying to get her to stand up and move around a little to loosen up her muscles. It was like pulling teeth. She ate and drank nothing. It's been quite worrisome. And I've been going all day. We skipped Stones today, canceled OT, and gave the nanny the day off. Nothing productive would have come from any of those, so why bother? You and Junie were much better rested today and in much better moods. To their credit, despite their difficult natures, Yiayia and Papou were very loving toward you and your sister. Today was very tiring, but somehow I feel better.

Love,
Dad
