Let me count the ways the last few days have sucked.
1) Oreo barfed all over and then demanded more food. I had the pleasure of cleaning that up.
2) Murray ate a stick of butter (plus wrapper) that was softening in preparation for some cookie making.
3) Murray puked (very large amounts) around the house. Both Mike and I got to clean that up.
4) Mike's guitar fell and hit the hardwood floor, breaking the neck.
5) Murray kept getting sick and refused to eat (that has never happened - Murray will always eat).
6) Murray can't keep anything down and is puking water back up - we are worried about pancreatitis, so I take him to the emergency vet last night at 2 am. They did tests and it's not pancreatitis. They decide to wait on x-rays and send us home (5am) with special food.
7) Owen and I get up to check on Murray (Mike went to work) around 7 - Murray looks awful and I had a hard time waking him. I end up yelling his name to wake him, after seeing that his eyes were rolled back and he wasn't waking. I really thought he was dead for a minute. He can barely get up. I call the vet and Mike in a panic. Then I call Mike's parents to see if they can come watch O while I take Murray to the hospital.
8) The vet takes x-rays and there is a "suspicious" area in Murray's intestines. We talk over our options and review estimates (OUCH). He's now at the vet's on an IV and under observation and they will take more x-rays this afternoon. Surgery is still a possibility.
9) We'll definitely be eating Ramen for a few months now.
Please keep Murray in your thoughts. *sigh*

That is a suck-ass day! Things happen like that to us too. Not just one thing but everything piles on at once. Hang in there. Couple things: mike plays guitar? Lane puked last nite and the kitten basically went swimming inbit...gross. And finally remeber when Nixon vaulted through the glass door on Christmas eve. Ramen for us too.
