Good grief! It has been a rough week around here. My sweet Ava girl had hand, foot, and mouth disease - and if you don't know what that is, consider yourself very lucky. Ellie, Ava, and Jeff all had it to an extent last summer and it was not fun, but Ava must have had a really mild case because she has had it times ten this week! It's been awful! She was miserable and I hate to see my kids hurting. High fever, then really sore throat, then horrible mouth sores - to the point that she wouldn't swallow her own slobber because it hurt so bad. She has cried so much this week! She was hoarse and how she has pink eye, on top of everything else. She slept much better last night and drank some milk this morning, so maybe she is past the worst of it.
We also found out she has moderate sleep apnea and will be getting her tonsils taken out May 12.
Ellie has been so sweet this week. Very patient, helpful, and so far, healthy!
We got a new kitty yesterday. A friend called and had found some kittens whose mother died, so we took one. He is tiny - probably only 2 weeks old, so we have to set alarms to bottle feed him every 4 hours. He's pretty cute and Ellie is loving being his "mama". We're calling him Hank. Pictures soon.
