Nigel is now completely well. Generally, we don’t stay down long, but the reasons that I know for certain that he’s well are the following:

a) He is playing with Lego in the living room

b) When I ask him, before dinner, to pick up the Lego, he says this to me—

“Are you developing a sense of humor or am I going deaf?”

Granted, this is probably a line from a movie that I haven’t seen or don’t remember, but still. He’s definitely not sick anymore.
