Poor Em! Hope the morning sickness settles down soon…

And, sweet Reba. I somehow knew The Husband would live with increased allergies for the love of that cat.

SVT stinks…tell Emma to make sure that her showers are not too warm (b/c even though they feel most excellent this way it tends to trigger the lightheadedness w/pregnancy and SVT). Nothing like a good medical drama to spice up your day. What did the doc say?

Sending you hugs and praying daily that our amazing God will bless and keep you close.

Betty…oh, I’m saying prayers that your cat will come back! Workman make my Reba disappear too. She hates all the hammering and messing up the yard.
Please let me know if she comes back. xoxo

I hope your daughter is feeling a lot better tonight.

I read about your feral cat. I’m so glad you were successful in taming her. My feral cat ran off seven weeks ago today. She lived in our backyard, shed, and garage. I had her for almost nine years. I think she would have been a skittish cat even if she had been a tame cat. She was always ready to run when she saw us. On a rare occasion I could pet her for a few seconds while she ate canned cat food, but only with canned food. (It took about five years to get that far with her.) Early on we caught her with a humane trap and had her fixed after she had two litters in our shed. Sadly, she was never going to be tamed. We had some workmen in the yard and it must have terrified her and she ran off in fear. I feel terrible and want her back so bad. I passed out over 125 fliers and I’ve received a few calls from people that thought the might have seen her. The problem is that she’s not tame and won’t come out even if she hears me calling her. I keep hoping she’ll find her way back, but if she wandered five or six blocks in the wrong direction there’s a creek with hawks, owls, coyotes, etc. I haven’t given up and I keep calling her name and putting food out. Meanwhile, another feral has moved in and I think she might be pregnant. I read on a website to keep putting food out (actually, they called it a kitty buffet) and other cats might lead your cat back. I hope something works.

I am so glad to see the photos of your cat, Reba, as I forgot where I was following your story and figured it would pop up eventually and here she is. It is great to see our pets become a part of our family. We have had the same thing happen, only with our rescue cat that is now truly a part of our family. I will go back and read more after I post this.

You are so lucky to live close to your daughter. I am glad that she is ok. I have mild to severe Vertigo from a neck injury 18 years ago. I have a chair in my shower to sit on, along with a shower massage to easily shower. I also have a chair in front of my bathroom sink to sit on. It might be a thought for your daughter to do this also, to prevent future falls. I have fallen before but never got injured. I will go back and read about SVT. Best of luck through her pregnancy.

Gosh, I am having flashbacks to Stephanie and the birth of baby Elliot last spring! Hope Emma is resting comfortably and will be back to normal heart rhythms soon. Goodness you all have been through so much lately!

Who would have thought Reba would become so domesticated and comfortable in these surroundings? Between Mike and yourself that is some magic you worked.

Wow, sounds like you had a busy day. Things happen a mile a minute over in Woodstock:) Glad Emma is okay and hope all goes well at the doctor today. You, Emma and your family are all in my prayers.
Reba is looking very comfy on your bed. Ms. Kitty is in the house somewhere right now too. She use to be so afraid we she would come in, now she just marches right into her favorite room and curls up on the bed. She likes it beside all the dolls in the guest room:) thinking of you

Good morning Robin! I hope Emma is feeling better today. I will have to rea about the condition she has, never heard of it but it sounds scary! Learning to trust soemetimes comes VERY slowly, especially if you have been hurt in the past. It comes with time. I would say, hang in there but I NOW you will!
Now, on another note, I just noticed something. You have a note from Brenda Osbourne and she signed it, “Sparkle PLenty”. The story goes that when I was born my Father wanted to name me Sparkle after the Sparkle Plenty in the comics…..(you are too young to remember that I am sure). But my Mom said NO WAY, so then I became Pinky. Who knows where that came from:):) I am wondering why Brenda signed as Sparkle Plenty???? Have a GREAT day, my friend!!! XO, Pinky aka, Sparkle:):)
