The last three weekends we have had family staying with us for the weekend. It was great to see everyone and do some fun things. We were looking forward to this week to catch up on rest and to relax. Monday we had a home phone hooked up and upgraded to HDTV and DVR. It was to be a great week of relaxation watching whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted to watch it. The installer came first thing Monday hooked everything up and was gone by 10:30. Dad, Linda, and Kristi had lunch and then headed back to IL around noon. It was a great afternoon of watching Discovery in HD and then off to school and Cathy's turn to watch HD. So far so good... Then comes Tuesday, I got up early and went into work. Cathy came in about an hour later. I went to school, came home and mowed the lawn. When I came inside Cathy says have you seen Frak? I had not, he did not come out to get his medicine when I got up, but I knew Cathy was right behind me and she would give it to him. Cathy got up, and when Frak did not come to get his medicine she assumed I had given it to him and he was back asleep somewhere. It was now almost 8:00 and pitch black outside. We realized Frak had been gone since Monday morning and we had just figured it out. Don't worry we keep a little closer eye on Kayla! Anyway, we now have to find a black cat in the dark. We are outside with flashlights and the neighbors said he was under their car all morning, but they had not seen him during the afternoon. We tried to get some sleep and up early the next day to put up posters, check the shelter, and talk to neighbors. The hard work paid off and about 8:30 a lady knocked on the door saying that Frak was down the street by the light pole. Cathy grabs the baby (good job not forgetting her honey!) and runs down to get Frak. She brings them both home safe!
Ok, so maybe that's not the end of the story if you thought it was you don't know us very well. After being home for a few minutes Frak starts having a seizure, and foaming from the mouth. Off to the emergency hospital it is. Oh,I forgot to mention I was in class for the rescue and seizure. Luckily, Brad (our brother in-law) had volunteered to help in the search. He was now the kitty ambulance driver. THANKS BRAD! Frak passed all the tests at the hospital and they don't know what may have caused the seizure, but he has had many issues before so it may be from previous problems. They are giving him fluids, and keeping him overnight. He should be fine and ready to come home in the morning. I will post an update and pics tomorrow!
