Well, we moved into our new house about a week and a half ago and are loving it. We do not have any interent over there at the moment so I have not been in the bloggy world much. I check up on the blogs when I visit my mom's house, but everyone else updates their blog so I just spend my time reading other people's blogs. I will try to update a little later this week.
Here is a little glimpse of what has been going on in the Thompson household:
Kurt's dog that he had since he was little had to be put down a few weeks ago. She was very old and had very bad arthritis. She was in pain all the time and would not even lay down anymore. His parents took her to the vet to get her medicine and it helped for a couple days, but then she started to get these large lumps on her chest and stomach. We, and the doctor, think they were cancer. So we had to put her down. It was a sad day.
Then a week later on Saturday morning, our little Daisy got into something and started throwing up and eating grass to get it out of her system. We decided to watch her and maker sure she was drinking water. She was still not eating on Sunday and we thought that she was just still not feeling good, but she was drinking plenty of water. Well, then on Monday morning, I went into the bathroom to check on her. (We put her in the bathroom because the night before, she was still throwing up decided to throw up in one of my shoes.) I took her to the vet on Monday morning and they wanted to run some tests. When the results came back, her kidney enzymes were very high and the vet thought she might have kidney disease. We were devestated. She is our baby and I could not bear the thought of losing her. I was a wreck for several days. They put her on fluids because she was dehydrated. There were 2 possible problems they had explained to us, the first could be kidney disease, the second was that she was so dehydrated and that could make the levels in her blood so high. They took her blood again on Wednesday after she was on IV fluids for a few days and she turned out to be just fine, but she still was not eating much. We decided to leave her there for one more night and pick her up on Thanksgiving morning. We had a lot to be thankful for.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, Kurt and I hosted it this year in our new home. I was a crazy person for a few days between Daisy and getting the house ready for family to come over. Everything turned out great. Except that I did not cook the turkey long enough and had to put the half carved bird back in the oven for a bit. In my defense, I did everything I was supposed to. In the leg the fluids ran clear and it was the right temperature, just not at the bottom of the breast. I am glad we got that Honey Baked Ham too. ;) It was still a great evening with the family, which I do not have any pictures of because, like I said I was a crazy person. I get a little OCD when it comes to hosting functions. This time I was a little less particluar about it because my little Daisy was in the hospital and we were visiting her about 2-3 times a day.
Well that about covers it for the update.. except I am still trying to figure out which of these weird twinges and light cramps and flutters are baby moving and which are not. I wish there was a little sign that showed up to decipher which is baby and which is not. Hmm.. oh well. I am sure as baby gets bigger, I will be able to tell a lot better.
Sorry about the lack of pictures again, we moved our cameras over to the house and this is the only chance I had to blog. We should be setting up the computer soon and possibly getting internet before Christmas, but who knows. As soon and we have it, you will be the first to know. ;)
