Several of you have asked me about Zeke and how he is doing. Lots has happened this week, and the news could be better…

Zeke had an ultrasound on Wednesday. The results came back today. No large tumors, which is good news. However, he shows signs of chronic pancreatitis or inflammatory bowel. The most concerning are his lymph nodes around the stomach and intestine. They are enlarged—these could be related to his GI issues or ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ early signs of cancer. I now have to set up a consultation with an internal medicine specialist and discuss either a more focused ultrasound and/or an endoscopic biopsy of the lymph nodes and possibly the intestine. Everyone place that offers this that works with my vet is a drive. But, we‘ll get through this. Honestly, I‘m tired and stressed and had to break down and cry all Tuesday night. It‘s a lot, but it could be worse. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1w

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I‘m still processing this latest development. But, I know we‘re one step closer to finding out a solid diagnosis. Please continue sending special thoughts for Zeke. He‘s a trooper! #catsoflitsy #Zeke #notbookrelated #nbr 1w

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, I‘m so sorry! He‘s beauty and I will pray for him. 1w

Life has been so difficult lately, even more complicated with the horribleness in the world. But, at least in my tiny little part of my world, things may be getting better. May…every time I think we‘re good, we‘re not.

Thank you to everyone who expressed love and support the last few days for myself and Zeke and Xander.

Xander is back 100%; his not so good blood results are still in the back of my mind.

Zeke is slowly recovering…again. ⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ He had 5 medications over the weekend, and he is going through a food change to a more food sensitive diet. I see improvement, but I‘ve also seen it before. If he is still bad, more tests and procedures are on the horizon. Sleep has been nonexistent, as both Zeke and Xander want fed at all hours of the night. But, I have my boys. We‘re working through it. I am slowly reading again, and for my buddy reads, I have to play major catch up! ⬇️ 1mo

CatLass007 Is Xander the top kitty and is Zeke the bottom kitty? I can‘t imagine how difficult it must be to have two cats sick at the same time. Personally, because it‘s so emotionally draining to have a sick cat, I‘d rather be sick myself, and the cat be healthy. 1mo

Librarybelle ⬆️ I‘m just hoping we are all finally back on the mend and can move forward with our regular routines. My cats are my reading buddies, and I know how many of you are proud pet parents. And, sometimes, with how crappy everything is right now, you just need to see cats or dogs in the feed to put a smile on your face! #NotBookRelated #CatsOfLitsy #Zeke #Xander 1mo

Librarybelle @CatLass007 Yes, Xander is the top kitty, and Zeke is the bottom. Xander also has a heart condition from birth, so his sudden illness made things even more complicated. He responded so well to the antibiotics that I sincerely hope he had an infection rather than the vet‘s thoughts that he has an autoimmune disease or even cancer. Personally, I think he ate something he should not have and got sick. Zeke has episodes of pancreatitis; this was bad. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I hope they continue to improve! 1mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Bookwormjillk ! 1mo

My March #BookSpinBingo list! Lots of buddy read titles, and I‘m hoping to get to my reread of the Jane Austen mystery series.

#NotBookRelated , but I am so over 2025, not only globally but in my own little world. Zeke had a setback of sorts, so I‘m waiting for next care instructions, and beginning last night, Xander has been ill. It was so abrupt! We have a visit soon to the vet. He‘s also not taken his full dose of heart meds, so I‘m worried.

Librarybelle Creating my book spin list has served as a good distraction! 1mo

Mollyanna Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this. I hope they get well soon. Sending healing thoughts to you and Zeke and Xander 💕 1mo

Librarybelle Thank you so much, @PurpleyPumpkin and @Mollyanna ! I‘ve got a new food sensitivity diet food for Zeke, and Xander was checked to make sure he is not in heart failure (he‘s not, just living with his usual heart issues). Let‘s hope everyone now bounces back. @dabbe @TheBookHippie 1mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Oh I hope it gets better… 1mo

Librarybelle Me too, @TheBookHippie . I almost cried when the x-rays came back tonight that Xander was not going into heart failure. Not sure what happened, but at least it was not life threatening. Zeke, the picky eater, will have to learn to eat special food to keep his tummy happy—such a boy! ❤️ 1mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Miss Winifred has now lived past her lifespan -so I get it, she has so much anxiety and separation anxiety from me it‘s difficult. She‘s so stubborn she‘ll hold her breath or upset herself so much she can‘t breathe. But all her tests are fine!! 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought she was sick. Nope. Stubborn. 😫 1mo

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie I had to give Sebastian calming supplements because his separation anxiety was through the roof. He was abandoned by his first family and left to live on the streets in my tiny town. I think he was the happiest of all of the cats when I transitioned to a work from home lifestyle. Pets are our family! 1mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I have permission to take her to read with the kids I still read with- she is really good with them. Thankfully I‘m on sabbatical this year… she can‘t be left alone ever so it‘s tricky. I‘m glad you get to be home now. It‘s so less stressful. 1mo

Librarybelle It‘s good you can be with her too, @TheBookHippie ! 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle @TheBookHippie Love and light to you both and to your precious babies. They are our solace. You're both such good mammas! 🖤🐾🐾🐾🖤 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe ♥️ 1mo

Librarybelle @dabbe ❤️❤️❤️ 1mo

Julsmarshall Sending love and healing vibes. So glad you get to be home with them. They bring so much joy to us, don‘t they? 1mo

Librarybelle They certainly do, @Julsmarshall . Thank you! ❤️ 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Great list!!! I hope your little guys are feeling better!! It's so stressful when they're unwell and you don't know the best way to help them!! 1mo

Mollyanna Good news! Yay! Hopefully Zeke gets used to his new food. They are our family. 1mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @TheAromaofBooks and @Mollyanna . Xander is still a little slow this morning, so I‘m hoping he‘ll be back to normal soon, and so far, Zeke is eating his special diet food. Pets are definitely our family! ❤️ 1mo

MemoirsForMe Sending healing hugs to your furry kids and hope they‘re feeling better. ❤️🐈 1mo

Librarybelle Thank you, @MemoirsForMe ! Zeke is doing better for the most part, and Xander and I just made a second vet visit today. Hoping he feels better soon! (edited) 1mo

DogMomIrene Hoping the babies continue improving! I gave one of our lick mats to a neighbor who had a sick picky eater cat. She said it really did help. Her guy seemed to like the soothing texture of the mat and lapped up the food. Not sure if you‘ve tried one with Zeke.❤️🐈 1mo

Librarybelle @DogMomIrene I‘ve not tried a mat. He will not eat any type of wet food. Hard food is easier to get him to try something new, but he can be stubborn. My other cats are willing to try just about anything! Thanks! 1mo

Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers | Ian O'Connor

#notbookrelated Yesterday was the Superbowl, so it's time to think about the 2025-2026 season. The Jets have released Aaron Rodgers. Where do you think he'll end up next? Vikings (following the path of Farve)? Cowboys? Steelers? Raiders? Titans? Browns? It will be one of the big off-season stories, just how he likes it. @KadaGul @Lesliereadsalot @AmyG @MemoirsForMe

MemoirsForMe Not a fan, so I hope he retires. 2mo

Lesliereadsalot I think he‘ll want to show the world it was the Jets not him, so he‘ll go somewhere else. Really not sure where. Maybe he‘ll be a back up haha! 2mo

OrangeMooseReads I really hope he ends up in obscurity. The Steelers are smarter than to take him. 2mo

Susanita Following in Brett Favre‘s footsteps by sticking around too long. 🥱 2mo

ElizaMarie Ugh! - So, I am a Packer Fan 💛💚💛💚 But NOT an Aaron Rodgers Fan. I hope he gets picked up by someone - I do enjoy the “hate watching“. He is all drama, I feel sorry for who takes him. 2mo

Read4life As long as he doesn‘t end up in Denver, anyone else can have him. ☺️ 2mo

AmyG I‘m with @Read4Life on this. I don‘t care where he goes…as long as it‘s not Denver. 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me @AmyG and not LA Rams or Chargers 😂 2mo

KadaGul How about Retiring like other Players 🙄🙄. Now, he is just bad luck. The Jets weren't in any better position with/ him. I think Robert Saleh had something going, especially in defense. 2mo

AmyG If only he had the self awareness to know to know that it‘s time to retire. 2mo

RamsFan1963 @BooksandCoffee4Me @KadaGul @Lesliereadsalot @AmyG @MemoirsForMe My fear is, with contract talks stalling with Stafford, plus his anger at Kupp being traded, the Rams will lose their QB to free agency. I trust McVay & Snead not to fall into the trap of picking up Rodgers, but with our QB unstable, anything is possible 🤢🤢🤢👎👎 2mo

RamsFan1963 @AmyG @Read4life Luckily, Denver has their franchise QB with Bo Nix and I doubt Herbert is going to leave the Chargers starting position. Dallas does have Dax, who they paid a 💩 ton to keep, but the other teams I mentioned are in need of a QB, even one as difficult as Rodgers. 2mo

Bette Well, I hope NOT the Vikings. Brady left with some class…well the first time. 🤭 2mo

MemoirsForMe @RamsFan1963 @Lesliereadsalot He would never be a backup for his bitter rival, the Bears…so we‘re safe! 😁 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me @RamsFan1963 I‘d go for Russell Wilson before Rodgers, if it came to that. At least Wilson is a person with integrity. 2mo

Lesliereadsalot I personally think it‘s better to take a flyer on a young quarterback, even late round, instead of hiring one of these aging stars to be the starter. Look at Joe Montana and Tom Brady. 2mo

AmyG Rodgers isn‘t a francise quarterback. He is a band aid and a hope for 1 season. I hope nobody takes him. 2mo

RamsFan1963 @AmyG From what I've read online, Tom Brady is campaigning to get Rodgers into Raiders' black & silver, then use their high draft position to draft a rookie QB. Spending a year on the bench behind Rodgers would not be the worst option for a rookie, very few of them come out with seasons like C.J. Stroud & Jayden Daniels had their rookie year. 2mo

AmyG @RamsFan1963 That makes sense….all depending if it works out between the two. 2mo

Jess861 Time to retire! 2mo

The_Penniless_Author I'm guessing he retires to either become Pat McAfee's full-time guest or RFK Jr's Senior Advisor at HHS. If he ends up on the Steelers, I will throw myself into the Monongahela. 1mo

RamsFan1963 @The_Penniless_Author I can see him as RFK's senior advisor, since they share an anti-vaxx attitude, which RFK lied about during his confirmation hearings. 1mo
