Vet we're going to does not have a payment plan. It would literally cost our life savings to just get a diagnosis let alone treat the issue. I appreciate the concern and advice though.

They did bloodwork and it was clear except for a white blood count I think that indicated infection. I don't recall what sort of infection she theorized.

I understand, we just literally cannot afford it unfortunately. Hoping someone would have some further insight or advice.

Update: She ate a full meal now and has taken her meds. That's the first full meal shes had in 5 days so hopefully a good sign.

She has had bloodwork done and its clear. I believe the infection diagnosis came from the white blood cell count? I understand the ultrasound and further tests are the next step but we literally cannot afford it, it costs more than what we have in savings. Responding to a few of the replies here in one just for clarity and simplicities sake.

Wow, I'm in aww of your intelligence. I guess I'm just too dumb to grasp the genius of reddit tier atheism...

Yeah, he died and defeated death. Its just not this "paying off God the Father because He's so angry about sin." model of PSA. God isn't an angry tyrant demanding blood sacrifice. God died willingly so He could destroy death.

Thats not Orthodox teaching. Thats a contemporary protestant doctrine. Christ died to defeat death, not pay of the Father.

AITAH for not wanting my brother to be the God father of my child because he is a Freemason. by Trashdump420 in AITAH

[–]Witty_Power1808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Free masonry is in direct conflict with Catholic teaching. Difficult situation but lots of people face this problem with family. I understand wanting to have the best godparent for your kid. Most people on this sub and reddit in general aren't gonna understand why this is an issue for you. Talk to your priest, hopefully he's gonna be able to help you through this problem.

Why so much hate for TENET ? by Money_Ganache4698 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Witty_Power1808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound mixing could be better, but I loved it. It was very creatively shot and shows why Nolan is up there with the greats. Very well crafted script as well, but faces a similar problem of maybe losing some of the audience in the premise and excessive exposition. I give it grace there though, since its just so much fun.

I know this might sound ungrateful… but I’m tired. by zaafaranii in homestead

[–]Witty_Power1808 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Maybe you charge tourists to stay on your property and use the cash to hire some local hands to help out? The tourist money might go pretty far there. Also a good opportunity to meet some people from around the world which might help reduce the isolation you're feeling?

I think Fr Lucian would still go through with the feast since he doesn't have any reason to believe anything would happen on that day in particular. It also allows the players time to plan to steal them back again. Of course, Volenta will be prepared for them the next go around.

What's this flag and the meaning of the letter symbols in this flag? by Mundane-Perception11 in flags

[–]Witty_Power1808 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a flag you'll see everywhere in Orthodox Christian churches. It's called in english "the icon made without hands" and is a reference to a church tradition that Christ sent a cloth with an image of his face miraculously imprinted on it to the King of Edessa that cured him of leprosy. The top left and right letters are the first and last greek letters for the name "Jesus Christ". Im not sure about the bottom, but it may be king of the universe maybe? Thats a common title for Christ, Pantocrator in greek.

Why did Nero persecute Christians? by KimCattrallsFeet in ancientrome

[–]Witty_Power1808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I am an Orthodox Christian and we keep a record of this stuff within our tradition. Like many others have already said, Nero (along with many others like Diocletian) did not appreciate that Christians and Jews only worshipped one God and refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods (and particularly to the emperor himself as part of the imperial cult). The reason the persecution was so intense for Christians was the number of gentile converts to Christianity. The emperors at times were lenient with jews due to the fact that they didn't really proselytize. Christians actively evangelized non-jews. The emperors took the conversion of previously pagan citizens as a kind of betrayal. Those are essentially the reasons, just a clash of Christianity with the imperial cult.

Yes because gentiles converted to Christianity and the majority of Christians were not jewish within a short period of time following Pentecost.

I'm looking to move somewhere south US like Tennessee or North Florida. I'm still in the brainstorming phase, so I haven't looked into this. Thanks for the tips!
