Blah!

Hey everybody! How are you today? I am hoping your doing better than me! I felt weird, nauseous last night. I am glad I was fine for Madeleine's birthday party with our family.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea right? Four layers of white cake, dyed two different colors of pink. All frosted with "Mr. Brown's Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting". A family favorite. So she officially turns 14 tomorrow. :)

So before I went to bed last night I threw up 3 times. :( Still not feeling so great today. Taking lots of naps with sweet Mabel.

Did not mention this, but she jumped off of the couch last week. Madeleine placed her up there and forgot. The vet said it is time to have a family talk. So we did. He said her jumping off the couch is like us jumping off the roof of our home. Her going up and down the stairs all day cannot happen. As in ever. Each step to her is like a 3 foot step for us he says. She needs to be lifted on and off the porch too.  The only options for her now is to go on the steroids and muscle relaxants when she has an "episode". We obviously hope these are few and far between. He did tell me she will gain weight. We of course hate this. He said she either lives plump, or she will end up paralyzed and then euthanized. I am summarizing this for you. He is wonderful and kind.

Haven't stitched in a day. I will when I feel better. I still need to finish the Garden Party into a pin pillow.

Napping and praying,
Vickie
