It started with Callie going to the vet to get spay. Apparently, everything went great with the surgery, but when I picked her up and got her home she wasn't doing great at all...I was actually worried to go to bed that night. When I woke up the next morning and Callie wasn't upstairs waiting for me (like she normally was) I knew something was wrong. I hurried downstairs and found her on the couch in really bad shape. I took her cone off and just held her. We couldn't get her to eat or drink, she was foaming at the mouth, she was totally limp and looked so sad...it was really scary. I called the vet and they gave me some ideas, but nothing really worked. Luckily by the end of the day, she was starting to improve slightly, and the next day she was miles better, but it was super scary for a little while. I had never seen any kitty react this way.
Next, we had to send Jordan back to Hawaii. The heartbreaking part was when she dropped Phoebe off the night before and just came home and cried saying "I don't want to go back."
Then came the snow/fever combination. After one week back to school after winter break, we had enough snow to give us 3 whole snow days. As annoying as it is to have the already bored kids home for another 3 days (without really being able to drive anywhere to do anything), but Summer (the one who loves the snow the most) got sick. She had a HIGH fever that lasted FIVE days!! She had a sore throat, fever, stuffy nose, throwing up, diarrhea, no appetite...man it was awful! I was worried, especially when her fever hit 104--yikes.
(Luckily Summer was feeling better before the snow was gone)
And lastly, THE RAIN! We have had the wettest, darkest, January ever! I think we had 28 days of no sun!! And we had so much rain that our backyard is turning into a swamp and the streets are all starting to flood. The rain doesn't usually bother me, but this has been crazy. We are all so ready for spring/summer to get here.
One thing I failed to mention, that through it all...I still have this stupid boot on my foot with no answers or hope for improvement--boohoo.
Hopefully 2020 improves...quickly! We are hanging on by a thread...
