Here With Rosey-Boy at the Carling VCA
Almost 2pm, and Rosey-boy, Grace and me are at the VCA (Ottawa Vet).
Rosey is being looked at. Just went in for X-rays. I lost Keziah about 2 weeks ago, so when I awoke this morning at 1:32am to find Rosey-boy in distress, I was jarred to say the least. But rather than allow myself to become undone, I sought the Father’s heart to the best of my ability. Wish I could say the say for Keziah. I was undone when I discovered the extent of Keziah’s condition.
A week back he started showing signs of discomfort
Late last week, Wednesday I believe, in the evening is when I first noticed there was something bothering Rosey-boy.
He started making his very characteristic chirp, and was making movements that signified his lower back seemed to be bothering him.
Being that it was so close to losing Keziah, I kinda freaked out.
After doing a bit of research I discovered the issue may have been caused by his annual molting. So I gave him a bath in some warm distilled water and and he seemed to be better. I didn’t really noticed that he was bothered at all over the next few days.
Awakened at 1:32am this morning
This morning at 1:32, I was awakened by one of my babies flying out of the cage and into the living room area.
I didn’t think much of it and actually though it was one of the others and not Rosey-boy.
I tried going back to sleep only to be disrupted by my Rosey’s little chirps he’s been making over the past week since I noticed something off about him.
I found Rosey in the living room, discomfort.
He brought him into the kitchen to examine him and give him a bath.
That’s when I noticed what I thought to be swelling in his stomach.
I wrapped him in a small towel and checked if the Vet was open (24 hours).. After discovering the Carling Vet wasn’t open till 8am, I decided I would bring Rosey in first thing.
Waiting on the Doc...
And so… here I wait.
I’ve prayed so much. One thing I’ve come to accept is that although my Abba loves me (us) dearly, He seems to most often not attend to our prayers in the realm of our personal lives.
I don’t say this to offend You, Abba, but rather to help myself make sense of it all.
For the first time in a long time, late last week, I said to myself, Abba’s will be done. I haven’t thought that way in ages to my suprise. God will be God. He doesn’t have to say a single word to me or answer a single prayer of mine. He does what He wants, how He wants, when He wants. God will be God. His ways are HIGHER, GREATER, BETTER, WISER..
I’ve prayed that a hedge of protection be placed around all my babies till they pass from natural causes in their old, healthy age.
I still believe my wonderful Abba is inclined to hear this heart-felt prayer of mine.
But Abba, as You know, I will love You anyway..
Abba, will I go home with Rosey today and enjoy many, amazing, joyful years with him.. My heart says yes.
