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.
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.

I am finishing up Luke in the Bible.
Also reading Eva and Eve for a book review.

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.

Hope you can get Marley all fixed up this morning.
Have a good week
It's very hot and humid here too, so not much will be done outside besides watering everything. Hope you get a cool down soon. Have a great week.
Take care of yourself and Marley. Praying for strength for you as you go through this week. Hugs!
My heart goes out to you, and my prayers for Marley as well. We are going through something similar with my granddoggie, Benji. Hoping you get an encouraging report from the vet today, and Marley has a breakthrough. (((Hugs)))
Oh, my Poor Marley. Has the vet suggested a specialist seeing he/she is running out of ideas? Why wasn't a biopsy done sooner. Poor Baby. We dealt with swollen paws on our Basset Daisy in the past, but can't imagine the hurt he is going through. Prayers for sure.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope they discovered a definitive cause for Marley's ailment when you went in this morning! Try and have a good week.
Hope Marley will be okay. Prayers for you and your family during these trying times. Hope you have a good week despite all the trials and find time to get some rest for yourself.
Continued prayers for sweet Marley!! And for your SIL. God is good and I have no doubt you will have answers soon. You're such a wonderful Mommy to him. 💕 Blessings my Friend. xo
Thanks for the party and posting and sharing. Praying for you.
Poor sweet Marley, It can't be any fun for him going through this. I hope the doctors find answers soon cause I know you all want him to feel better and I'm sure he wants to feel better. I will keep praying for him. Glad your sister-in-law survived the first round of chemotherapy.
Sending out positive vibes for Marley and your SIL. Take care of yourself as well and try to have a good week.
Prayers for Marley, your sister-in-law, and your friends from back home that have passed away.
Sending hugs and blessings to you!
I'm so sorry to hear that Marley is still not feeling well, and I pray you got a good report from the vet about a solution! Praying still for your family during this time. I hope you take some time to rest and relax, stressful seasons are tough on us for sure!
