Good evening! By the skin of my teeth I did manage to survive VBS week! Not sure I will commit to being a crew leader next year unless I can have the younger kids again. Thurs night Ginger got a hold of something elastic & ate it & then vomited it back up. I wasn't sure what she had eaten or if it all came up so I took her & the "evidence" to the emergency vet. The x-ray showed nothing in her stomach, but they said there were gas pockets in her intestines that could be blockage. They kept her there over night & gave her fluids, I got home a little after 1 am Fri morning. The vet called at 6 to tell me she had done well during the night, but they still wanted her to be seen by her regular vet for another X-ray. So I picked her up from the emergency vet & took her to our vet by 7:30 when they opened. They took another x-ray & wanted to keep her for a few hours, give her fluids & take another x-ray, so she ended up staying there till a little after 4 when Allie & I picked her up & took her home before VBS. I did finally figure out she had gotten hold of the elastic band they put around the legs of rotisserie chicken, Allie & Amanda had been eating some at my house for lunch on Wed & the band must have fallen off and no one noticed. That little adventure set me back $1,200 but it could have been much worse, she seems to be doing ok now and you can bet if rotisserie chicken comes in this house again the leg band will come off & go straight to the garbage! I made it to VBS friday night on about 2 hours sleep and am still trying to catch up with myself!
