Need some prayers!
« on: July 17, 2012, 11:40:42 AM »
Hi guys! I just found out this past Saturday, that my mom is in a nursing home, and that she has less than six months to live. She has nemonia along with Louis body disease, which is dementia, alzheimers together, and she has parkins disease in her legs. I go visit her twice a day, and I'm not going to lie, it hurts. When I get in my car to come home, I cry home. We were up north for three years, and the last memory I have of her, she was still the same! The thing with this disease, it makes you look older. She is 64, but it makes her look 84. She isn't doing good at all, frankly neither am I. I don't eat much, and I am always tired and wore out, emotionally. My dad died when I was two, and don't have the first memory of him. And seeing a parent like this for the first time, is a real shock! Don't know if I can handle it. And would appreciate some prayers!
Love you guys!

My prayers are with you and your mom, Stephanie.

I lost my mom in 2000.
She was in a nursing home for about six months before she passed.
She had a series of strokes. Each one left less of her behind than the last.
She finally succumbed to congestive heart failure. The same thing that took my sister February, 2011.

I know how much it hurts.
But know that the Good Lord has his hands around her and you.
Wonderful things beyond imagination await those who believe!

Tony
What you do today is what matters!

So sorry Stephanie ,I sure will say a prayer for you . I know how hard it is my mama & dad passed away 5 years ago . My mom got alzheimers at the age of 59 and lived to be 81 she was in the nursing home the last 15 years of her life . It is very sad to see your parent like that .
Will be thinking about you

Buy her a stuffed animal to cheer her spirits.  It might even lift yours as well. Keep your chin up!
