{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 07/05/2021 }

Good morning everyone, hope you've had a great 4th of July weekend.  

 

For the first time ever, we didn't celebrate.  Marley is not feeling well at all, the swelling has gotten worse, and his back legs and paws are also now swollen which make it hard for him to walk.  He was fine on Saturday and then by the afternoon, the swelling started.  He also seems to have some sort of rash in his groin area.  We are more and more convinced that he may actually have a fungal infection, which is something the doctor was going to check for on Thursday during the biopsy.

 

Unfortunately we can't wait any longer, so he will be going to the vet this morning.  Please continue praying for a breakthrough in this situation, my poor boy needs healing.  

 

I'm trying to get this post up as quick as possible, before  I head out the door.

Have a wonderful rest of week everyone!

♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥

Tired and a bit stressed over Marley, but I know things will sort themselves out.  Didn't get any sleep from Saturday to Sunday, was up all night with Marley.  Last night, got a little sleep, but was up at 3 to check on him and then up at 5am with him again. 

♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥

Nothing, just a cup of coffee, I'm not feeling hungry at all. 

♥♥Looking around the house♥♥

Same ol' Same ol'.  House needs attention, house needs deep cleaning, but I haven't been able to do it between helping my sister in law and Marley.  It will get done, eventually.

♥♥On my reading pile♥♥

I am finishing up Luke in the Bible.

Also reading Eva and Eve for a book review.

Haven't watched anything this past weekend, and not sure if I will have time to this coming week either.  But if I do, it will probably just be a quick vlog on Youtube.

♥♥From the camera♥♥

My sweet boy Marley. 

♥♥I am thankful for♥♥

That God has kept his hand on Marley through the past few months, and that even though we are still dealing with this mysterious illness, that we WILL have a breakthrough in His name.

That my SIL had her first chemotherapy treatment on Friday and has breezed through, only felt nauseous once and has been just fine.  Praise God for that. 

♥♥I am hoping to♥♥

A breakthrough with Marley, that we can finally be told "THIS is the problem, let's fix it."

 

♥♥ Prayer List♥♥ 

- My SIL as she continues her battle with breast cancer. 

- Marley, we need to flood him with prayers for a resolution.   

- More friends who have passed away in South Africa from Covid.  It is devastating what is happening back home, so many dying, and so many in ICU.  Only God to see us through this because it's hard getting a call every day, with the news that someone else we know just passed.
