OMC - my mom was sick as a dog this weekend!! She did not get out of bed the whole weekend and did not even turn on her 'puter to log into Catster so you know it was serious!!
On Thursday she had a scratchy throat so she took some Zicam and on Friday she had some congestion so she kept taking it. Then she woke up on Saturday and she had a fever of 101 degrees, a terrible headache and body ache, sore throat and lots of congestion.
Well everyone in the house had to spring in to action! Gma made her a big pot of chicken soup. Dad rushed off to Walgreen's to get some cold medicine. I took the lead as her head nurse and slept on the bed right next to her all day. Sugar was close by as my second in command most of the time and Little Bit came in and out.
For 24 hours there was not a moment that there was not at least one cat on the bed with Mom. On Sunday morning Dad got up to make coffee and when he looked in on Mom he said, "You must be better because this is the first time all weekend there hasn't been a cat on the bed". He was right! Mom's fever had dropped and although she was still sick, she was improving. We were able to go outside for a while but we still kept a close eye on her.
Today she is finally vertical again but taking it easy. She is going to stay home from work and hopes she can go back tomorrow.
Mom and Dad are back from their honeymoon and went back to work yesterday - so things are settling down around here!
I was a bit uncooperative while they were gone - I did not socialize with my auntie and Gma and even refused to come in the kitchen for my Tiki treat in the evening. The first night Gma carried me in and the next time when she approached me I growled at her! So they gave me a wide berth.
Mom wasn't all that surprised. In the days leading up to the wedding she noticed I was very clingy - everytime she sat down I hopped up right next to her and wanted lots of attention - more than usual. She thinks I was responding to all of the excitement and stress leading up to the big event. Of all of us kitties, I am the most in-tune to Mom's moods.
Now that she and Dad are home, I am back to being myself!
There are no words to describe how grateful Mom and I are for all of the wonderful words of congratulations we have received for my Cat of the Week honor and her marriage. We are truly humbled by this outpouring of love and friendship.
Mom had a magical wedding - she wants you to know it was all that she could have hoped for and she knows that your kind thoughts and good wishes helped make that happen.
She is leaving early tomorrow morning for her honeymoon in Hawaii and we will be well taken care of by Gma and our Auntie Ta.
As soon as Mom is back she will work with me on my individual thank you notes to all of you wonderpurr Catsters who have honored me and her with your congratulations.
Until then, please know that our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude for all of you.
