The Crud

So Adam and I have come down with a case of the "crud," as I've heard so many others call it. We've had a cold for the past few days. Adam got it first, and I started feeling badly soon after. I missed an entire day of work on Thursday, went in Friday to do payroll and other things, and went back home at noon. Adam hasn't missed any work. He doesn't like to take sick days. I don't know how he does it! He had Wednesday and Saturday nights off, so that probably helped him out some. We didn't leave the house all weekend. I'm still not feeling too swell...hacking up a lung every now and then. But alas, I must go to work tomorrow. Hopefully I'll feel better by then.

Apparently Catie's dog Jake came down with the crud, too. Mom and Chris took him to the emergency vet this evening. He hasn't been eating. He's been drinking, but he ends up throwing up his water. He was very weak. Mom called me a few minutes ago. Turns out Jake has diabetes! However, that doesn't mean he's diabetic....I'm a little lost on that one. Right now he has pancreatitis, which is what my cat Tippy had when I took him to the emergency vet a few years ago. He ended up having pancreatic cancer and had to be put to sleep, but I don't think that's going to happen with Jake. He has to stay overnight at the emergency vet's office, but then my mom has to pick him up at 7:30 a.m. and take him to his regular vet. They'll have to keep him for a few days. He has to have an IV and all sorts of tests done. Hopefully he'll be okie dokie!
