Neck check...
Dear Nicky,
This afternoon while I stayed home with Junie, Mom took you to Morristown Memorial Hospital, where they have a good radiology department, for a neck X-ray. The purpose of this was to determine if you have atlantoaxial instability, a neckbone condition that makes certain activities, like sports, dangerous for you. It's not an uncommon condition in people with trisomy 21, I'm afraid. I hope you don't have it, but we need to check and see. According to Mom, you didn't like being there and cried a lot. But you seemed fine when you got home, so I guess you shrugged it off fast, in typical Nick fashion. You ate nothing but some bread for dinner tonight, so I bet you eat well for breakfast. But you're tricky.
Love,
Dad
