adventures with FAA medical

Sounds like the medical at American. Of course we never smoked, and
our parents (now in their 100's) are alive and well. That always
bugged me "so your grandfather died at age 92, what of?"
Follow up with your AME and ALPA (AOPA) since nobody cares about your
medical more than yourself.

Got two more years on my Class III medical in December. Now I get a
letter from the FAA asking for more information about blood pressure
readings, meds, etc. Of course I'd provided all requested information
to the aero-med guy in December; evidently he didn't forward it, or
didn't know he was supposed to. (I thought the aero-med folks just
used their discretion!)I am supposed to respond within 30 days.

I faxed the letter to the aero-med doc, and he called back and asked
further questions (did I smoke; what did my parents die of, etc) and
said he'd take care of it.

Now should I:

1) assume that he is indeed taking care of it (he's a pilot; aero-med
work is now his only practice, which he pursues part time in
retirement; he's been my flight surgeon for six years)?

2) write a collateral letter to the FAA on my own account?

Thanks!
