Naama Gets Sick :(

So the night before Josh's big first day at frog, Naama got sick. I took her out to the yard at 2am to go potty and she returned with such an itch! All night she was scratching and pacing and because she didn't sleep, we didn't sleep. Her whole face was swollen! At 7am I ran out to the drug store and bought her some children's liquid benadryl.



The swelling went down and after we dropped Josh off at work we went to play at the aquatic park. The girls had a blast on the sand and in the grass and I thought she was all better.

Then we came home and the throwing up began...

So to the vet we went. They gave her meds and said she shouldn't throw up anymore. But all night long (yes, we were up again) she was throwing up and running back and forth between the bedroom and the living room.

So back to the vet again...

I had to leave Naama this time for x-rays (that was rough). So Lyla and I went to my school to work until we could pick Naama up. Lyla did okay; I thought she would freak out without Naama.

Well, there was no obstruction so no surgery- thank goodness. She had eaten some toxic debris from the construction and it was passing. She got more meds and a bland diet (boy is she hungry all the time- she sits in the kitchen looking up at the counter, poor girl).

But she is doing great now!

Here is Josh leaving work after his first day at frog in SF. The rest of the month he's working on a project in the Palo Alto office.
