Weekend Wash- Sorta

I spent most of this weekend stressed about our kitty. Friday, was a complete wash because I couldn't leave the house. Saturday, Richie had off and we planned to go to our friends John and Jackie's house around 3pm. I was worried all day about leaving the kitty, especially because my mom would be gone too. I finally decided in the morning that I was going to go shopping and make a flag cake. This way, it would force me or at least make me lean towards going to the party. Plus, it distracted me. The cake was done and I was packing stuff into the car. I wanted to see everyone and hang out at this 4th of July party. I went in to say bye to the kitty and she started having another seizure. This one was the smallest of them all. Just lasted about 2 minutes with less body jerking. Her neck moved involuntarily a few times, but stopped very quickly. Her eyes where dilated and had a slight involuntary movement. About 3 minutes all together, she was back to normal and looking at us lying of the floor beside her. I think, she thought we were losing our minds.. We waited about 25 minutes to make sure she did not have another seizure, since this one was so small. She seemed fine and got on the bed herself and went to sleep. It actually made me feel a little better, thinking she would probably just rest the entire day while we were gone. And so we left.
The party was fantastic and I was so glad we went. They had a pig on the grill, cornhole in the backyard, along with a pool, good friends and good music. It was such a good time. I saw friends that I had not seen in awhile and watched all the kids run around and play. We got in the pool and played a game of volleyball. Later in the night, we watched fireworks and sat outside. The boys played poker and the girls chatted. Richie and I left earlier then normal because I started wondering about the cat. It had been several hours, so I needed to put my eyes on her. My mom was home when we got there and she said Love was fine. She ate her tuna and was laying on my mom. I felt very relieved. What a great day.
Sunday, the weather was a little rainy in the morning. We were going to go to the pool, but got rained out. The kitty seemed fine so we headed to Patrick and Nikki's for a cookout. My Mom was on babysitting duty! We hung out at their house for a few hours. Patrick put chicken on the grill and Nikki had made all the sides. It was awesome. We hung out and admired all of Patrick's electronic gadgets. We reeeaaallllyyy need a flat screen TV. Especially, now that we have seen Patricks! :-) We were exhausted when we arrived back home. What a busy, fun, stressful weekend all rolled into one!
The kitty did just fine last night. I did not sleep very well at all though. I was just listening for any little noise. There were 44 hours, between her first and second seizure and 36 hours between her second and third.. so I was nervous through the night. So far today, she is doing well too. Richie is home with her and keeping his eyes of her. Good thing!
