Hello everyone! How are you?
Well, things have been a little crazy for me and mama. In March she caught a cold and never quite got over it. She was very tired all the time and just couldn't do much. This was bad because she was trying to get packed up to move. Toward the end of the month mama started feeling even worse. She was having fevers, aches, and nausea. Early in the morning of the 22nd she woke up, took a sip of Gatorade, and just barely made it to the bathroom before she threw up. My poor mama!
When she woke up again later in the day she had a sore throat and felt totally miserable. She called the CF clinic thinking that she might have the flu. The flu could be very serious for mama since CF is a lung disease. One of mama's good friends got the flu last spring and then needed a transplant because it damaged her lungs so much. Luckily mama's friend is doing great with her new lungs now.
Before the CF clinic called back mama decided that she couldn't wait and made a few phone calls to find someone to take her to the ER. Her good friend N came to get her and took her in. N stayed with mama while they ran tests. Everyone in the ER figured that she probably did have the flu because of her symptoms. Luckily it turned out that she didn't. She had pretty bad pneumonia and a cold. The combination made it looked like the flu.
Mama decided that it would be best for her to stay in the hospital until she got to feeling better. She was still living alone (well, I was there, but no other people) and she felt to bad to be able to take good care of herself. In the hospital she wouldn't have to deal with her IVs herself and she could just order food instead of having to cook.
N came back to mama's house and got me, my food, and favorite toys and took me back to his house. Mama was moving in with N and B at the end of the month anyway. This way she didn't have to worry about me while she was in the hospital. I missed her so much though and didn't really understand what was happening. I cuddled with my uncles N and B when I felt lonely. I also got to play with Boots, a kitty of N and B's who is about my age. Now we are best friends, mama says we're brudders. We love to wrestle and play tag. We even go outside and explore a lot.
Mama got out of the hospital after 5 days and was able to finish up her IVs at home. Luckily mama has lots of good friends to help her move. They were so understanding about her not being very packed up because she had been so sick. I was so happy to see mama again after being apart for 9 days. I cuddled and loved her so much! I got to sleep with her in our bed that night and it was the best!
Mama is feeling really good now and we are very happy at out new place. Its so nice to have a brudder to play with. There is a yard here to play in and lots of neat places to explore. Now that its spring time I spend most of my days outside but I sleep next to mama every night. I went to the doctor for a check up. The doctor was really nice and I liked her, I didn't stop purring the whole time, even when I got my shots. The doctor really liked me too and said that I am really healthy.
So me and mama are both doing really good right now! We hope that you are too.
