This morning J2’s cockatiel “Beaker” passed away. Beaker was one of two birds we got from Aunt Christy in 2003 or 4 and raised from chicks. Flapper, his sibling, did not get along with Beaker so we sent him to Paradise (the town!) to live with some family friends.
There are lots of tears this morning. Doubt we’ll do school. Mummifying a chicken seems really innappropriate today.
🙁
Thanks for the prayers!
I just talked to my mom – they really think it’s Valley Fever, but they need to confirm with a blood test. But the good news is…
1) Mom has insurance – PTL!
2) they are starting her on the meds now
3) it is NOT contagious! PTL!!!
My mom, Merrily, has been sick for over a week now. Initially, they thought it was pneumonia – but a very weird strain. In fact, they asked her if she’d left the country recently. (She hadn’t) Today she sees a disease specialist. We are starting to suspect Valley Fever. It is a fungus and needs to be treated completely differently. Please pray for her today as she needs them to listen to her and help her to feel better.
Unrelated, her older brother just died this morning following a long illness. :(Â Please pray for his wife, children and siblings as they grieve his loss.
I caught this moment between J3 and JGirl. We’ve been talking about Noah’s ark for school and he was helping her learn the story. It was so cute – she’d growl at the bears! LOL
To a few of my local friends….JGirl will be a princess on Halloween. You all will just have to deal with it! 😉
