My throat hurts… Xavier’s nose is runny…Colin looks fine….
I don’t want to be sick… I don’t want the boys to be sick..

Last year was the year of the never-ending cold… we were all sick one after another and all at the same… this year has been great… besides Colin’s fever before Xmas we have been healthy this year… it was bound to happen but I don’t want it too…

Speaking about Colin, I am bringing him tomorrow for the blood tests I think…. it has been a month and he has been back to normal for a few weeks now….

That way I can get the results back in time to go see my family Doc… I will be going to a Talk by Gordon Neufeld on Feb 7th so I will be in Montreal anyways and can make the appt with my doctor the same day…. I am anxious to see the results…

Now… Nelson (my aging feline) has tons of sores on his body and has been having tons of accidents lately… so we are aff to the vet to see whats happening… this will be interesting…. 2 tired kids and a sick cat…

I have purposly not had Colin take a nap yet today… Hopefully he will fall asleep in the car and then sleep through the vet visit… if not… he will sleep well tonight…

BTW…. the toddler bed is great… Colin loves it and can go on his bed suring the day and sits there with a book often…. it is also great that he can get up by himself when he wakes up and is in a generally better mood when he wakes up from his nap….

Well… sigh….deny…. deny………deny………….

*Update

Colin didn’t sleep but both boys where great and intersted in the whole visit.. Nelson on the other hand wasn’t too impressed…

Nelson is having an allergic reaction to fleas… it is his first case of fleas in 15 years so I guess it isn’t too bad… we got some “Advantage” for him which seems pretty good since it is a once a month thing and especially since we don’t have to treat the house as it will kill any Lavae etc as Nelson makes his normal rounds….He also has a small Urine infection and will need antibiotics for a few days, hopefully that will clear up the accidents that he has been having… Sadly though, like many cats his age he has developed a heart murmur… I did a bit of quick research and saw that it is pretty common at his age andthat it really isn’t too worrisom…. the vet suggested going to the vet hospital (45 min away) and getting an ultrasound etc but I don’t know if we will… he is still in great shape and has no signs of heart trouble….

On the way home Nelson peed in the Carrier (Ughh..) I had put him on the front seat next to me and a few times he shook his paw and I got sprayed with Cat pee…. EWWW….If you know what cat pee smells like then you know how gross t is….. if you don’t then you are lucky cause it Stinks!!! I got home, Colin fell asleep… put him down in his bed and then gave Nelson a bath… Ah the joys of giving a pee soaked cat as bath….
