Subject: Good lung news
September 15, 1999

Dear friends and family!

Mommy is really happy because she just heard from the doctor and they say my sweat chloride test was NORMAL. This is good news because it means we can rule out cystic fybrosis and is more likely to mean I am simply repairing my lungs after pneumonia.

I am looking forward to maybe seeing Kim and family(?) in Sunnyvale on the weekend of November 6. That will be my 1 1/2 year birthday! Maybe I will even get to see Lois and Dick. Mommy says they will have good songs to sing me. Maybe even seeing Great Grandpa and Grandma King on the way!

I am sending a big hug and kiss to Janice and Joyce for convincing mommy that it is okay for me to be in charge sometimes even though I am not yet two. Yesterday I decided to go to sleep at 6:30 in the evening and not get up until time to watch Bear in the Big Blue HOuse at 7. I know what I want and sometimes it isn't going to bed at 8:30. Today I went to visit my babysitters daughter Wendy at her third grade class. We played all summer and I miss her.

a becito and a hug for you and a big grin. Yesterday I started saying OKAY.

Love

Emily.
