How can I be too

How can I be too chicken to call my owncousin?

My cousin Jim got married a few years ago. He now has two children, the second of which I didn't know about until two weeks after he was born. Seriously - I didn't even know his wife was pregnant until two weeks after the baby was born. Neither did my mom - my aunt and uncle just never thought to mention it, I guess. Anyway, so the second baby, a boy, Caleb, was born with what I was told was "some sort of infection." I never heard anything more, so I figured he got over it and all was well. I've come to find out that he's been sick this whole time - something about his body not producing white blood cells. A doctor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center wants to see him (they live in Florida). I wish I had known it was that bad. But I'm too chicken to call since I haven't talked to my cousin since they moved to Florida, probably 8 years ago. I found his address on switchboard.com, so I'll send a card with all of my contact info and let him take the ball from there. I hope Caleb's okay. :(
