halloween

Unfortunately, little Libby didn't react well to her shots, and we had to cancel our Halloween plans. She had decided to be a black cat, and I had even washed her costume. It's hanging sadly in her room, unworn. :-(

We had planned to stop by to see Maddie and Sydney, then Casey, then Gus. Afterward we were going to hang out at Doug and Sue's. When Libby woke up from a nap around 4:00, she was hysterical, and it took her a good hour to settle down. She felt warm, and she was acting hungry, but wouldn't nurse. She's never been inconsolable, and she never refuses to nurse. We gave her more Tylenol, and she eventually ate and seemed to feel better, but we didn't want to press our luck. So we just stayed home and cuddled her all evening while she slept. She was still a little fussy on and off, which is uncharacteristic.

We ended up having a fun evening, though. Liz came to visit from Indianapolis and spent the night with. She and Kevin went and bought some candy for trick or treaters when we decided to stay home and picked up some Thai food and sushi. We just hung out all night and watched movies and TV, and made Halloween goodies like caramel apples and peanut caramel cereal treats.

Libby slept well last night and seems more herself today. It was sad to miss out on our Halloween adventures, but we're glad our little kitten is feeling better today.
