Lizzie and I got back to NY at about 10:30 pm last Friday. It was actually a pretty nice flight, for which I am truly grateful, because the rest of the night was not so easy. After we got home and settled, I tried to take some Dayquil before bed. The package was hard to open, so I had to use scissors, but even then one of the capsuls went flying. Of course, Wahoo scarfed it up. I tackled him and tried to wrestle it from his mouth. I even got my fingers on it once, but it was no use. After he swallowed it, I tried to gag him, but all that happened was he bit me really hard about a thousand times. So, we had to call the emergency vet, who told us to give him hydrogen peroxide to make him vomit and call the pet poision control. They said that he should have been fine from such a small dose, but that the symptoms I was describing were worrysome...so, it was off to the all night vet down in midtown. They wanted to do all sorts of crazy stuff (for crazy $$), but we told them just to give him charcoal to absorb any extra toxins. We finally headed home and went to bed at 6:00 am. Welcome home, right? But we are all fine now...except for the fact that we had a flood while we were gone. Super, huh? Matt had had to deal with the frustrated super earlier last week, but since there was very minimal damage we were very lucky. He had to get into our apartment and mop up some stuff and pull back our rugs, but that was about it. The only real hassle is that a ton of stuff from a few of our kitchen cupboards is all over the kitchen. I will have to do about a thousand loads of dishes to get all the stuff clean and put away, but that is okay. It could have been a lot worse!
Anyway, we had a great trip to California. We really got to see a lot of you and had some good time to just hang out. Lizzie is getting so big and is having a blast with all of her new toys. Thanks to all of you (especially Mom!) who gave such wonderful gifts for her (and us) since I know she will have so much fun playing and reading and will look great doing it in all of her fabulous new clothes. I am seriously grateful for all of the support we have had since baby stuff can really add up.
The whole family. :)
