Easter Lily Madness

We spent last week dealing with a kitty crisis. Either Hilo, Kona or both cats ate part of an Easter Lily. Turns  out Easter Lily (lilies in general) are one of the most lethal plants for cats by causing kidney failure within 2-4 days if not treated right away. So needless to say both cats were in and out of the vet getting multiple injections of subcutaneous fluids to flush out their system Monday through Wednesday. We thought Kona was a goner by Wednesday, turns out her blood work was fine, just ended up with a bladder infection from all of the stress of the plant/vet. We still don't know if she is the one that ate the plant, but 'I'm going to say 90% sure it was her. Luckily the vet knew what he was doing and was able to save our little girls. Micah was oblivious to all of this, and we are thankful for both grandmas who were around to watch him while we were dealing with the cats. They have used up one or more of their nine lives, but grateful they made it through.

 Micah is plugging along. Still teething, trying to walk and cruising all over the house. He has master the stairs. Yesterday he made it up the entire basement stairway. I was behind him the whole time, of course, but amazing how strong that little man is. 

Made the Move

We are officially Medina residents! It's been a crazy week but the new house is so much better. It's nice to know this is our home for the long haul. The weekend started off with movers last Saturday at 8 am and cleaning/moving through Sunday night. We spend Monday afternoon at the hospital where Joe thought he was having heart issues. turns out it was just stress, etc. from the move. By Friday Micah was sleeping in his crib..all night long..!!!!! So far we've made it almost a week with him sleeping through the night .It's been the best part of the move. It's been a stressful but great week and a half so far. We are looking forward to making the house our own and updating as needed.

 Micah has three floors of toys now and the cats are in heaven! Micah is completely on the move. He's even discovered how to climb stairs. We've got baby gates for the top of the stairs, but not the bottom so just have to keep a close eye on him these days. That kid is growing so fast!
