A Little Down Right Now



In my very first post I gave a history and one of the things that brought me back to church was our cat that has a cancerous tumor and meeting with a member who specializes in holistic medicine.  Well, the kitty is not doing well.  She is down to 9.7 pounds.  This was a cat who was 17 pounds a year ago.  There is nothing anyone can do medically.  We have to hand feed her because the tumor on her head has grown to the point where she has a hard time moving her jaw.  I have thought over and over when should we put her down.  Bodily function wise, she does everything.  With her tumor though, she is starting to bump into things because she can't keep her head up for long periods of time due to the weight of the tumor.  I admit, me and Becky are upset and I do cry during a weak moment.  I know God will take of her and she truly has been a blessing.  She's a fighter.  When I weep and talk to her, she still purrs.  She's a trooper.  God brought her to us so that we could know Him and I am forever grateful.  The hard part is coming up and I know it.  I will keep praying for her to keep a quality of life, but I know the time is coming close when we will have to decide enough is enough.  Please pray for her.
