The Monday of that week, Sally had made an appointment for Jordan to see her own OB/GYN physician for her first feminine checkup. The appointment was set for two days after Halloween, Friday morning.
It’s time, she had thought to herself, and besides, maybe he can give us some advice on this bedwetting problem on the same visit; it’s gone on long enough!
Ted had told Sally he’d be home from his lengthy relief trip to Ground Zero in New York early on Halloween morning and planned to take the kids out trick-or-treating. Some people from their church were boycotting the holiday but each of the Reynold’s parents’ families participated when they were younger and as adults, they had never deprived their own kids of the fun.
