prayers coming for your mom and whole family, donna. too much stress
going on there.

hugs, diane

Prayers coming that way also Donna for your family.

Hi Donna,
Just make sure that she is being treated adequately. I would hate this
to become really serious. Since Sylvia's condition seemed to start
woth pneumonia, it does make me more concerned for your mom. Tell her
if she seems to be getting the least bit worse to go to the hospital.
Try to see if a neighbour can check in with your mom as well.

Prayers being said for both of them, Donna. It must be so hard for your
Mom. Can they get some kind of home help? Your Mom needs to rest with
pneumonia. I had it once years ago, and it was a rough couple of weeks.

HUGS,
Carole

Donna, prayers already on the way, for all of you, but particularly for your
mom.  Pray all the activity won't be too much for your dad.  I know Grayson
got really nervous around a number of people, or much noise.

Hi Gang,

If you could, please pray for my parents, most especially my mom right
now.

Mom spent most of the day yesterday in the ER and was diagnosed with
pneumonia which really flares up her emphysema too.  They really wanted
to admit her because she was having such a time of it breathing, but she
refused to be admitted because she didn't want to leave my dad alone (he
has alzheimers).  So, she is at home, but having a rough go of it and
worrying way to much that she won't be well by next weekend when our
whole family will travel up to where they are for my nephews graduation
from high school.
My brother that lives up there near them is so busy right now getting
ready for the graduation and the party and arrival of families from both
sides, that he doesn't have a whole lot of time to spend with my parents
like he normally would.   The rest of us are 300 miles away.

So, would appreciate your prayers that my mom can just lay low a bit and
take care of herself so that she can get to feeling better, and that my
dad will just behave for now!

Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it!!!

Hugs,

bless her.  ((((((((((((((((((donnag's mom and family))))))))))))  it's
difficult enough (and that's an understatement) being a caregiver when you
are healthy (i remember when i first came down with double pneumonia the
week before butch passed away).  your parents are definitely in my prayers.

i'm thinking, after reading a lot of the responses and your replies to them,
donna, that maybe a few calls to her and his doctors to get her some help
with your father might be in order.  well, not just in order, but advisable,
considering her own fragile condition.

if there's no assistance forthcoming from the doctors, then i'd try that
particular county's senior services or the local alzheimer's org. for
assistance.  even if it's just respite care it would go a long way towards
helping your mom.  but i'm thinking more in terms of a person who comes in
each day to do meals and light housekeeping/laundry. (dang it!  last week i
threw away my city/county/state/federal catalogs on senior services for our
area that i used for mom and dad--got it from one of our local senior
centers, but libraries have these magazine-like catalogs, too and so might
the local alzheimer assoc. chapter.  i could have been more helpful if i at
least had the names of some of these agencies handy for you.  i'm sorry i
threw them away, now.)

and you are absolutely correct, donnag.  as much as i know you would
lovingly want to help your parents by being there, your presence might wind
up being a case of them having to help you.  not at all what you want for
them or yourself.  (((((((((((((((((((donnag)))))))))))))))))---because i
know how hard it is to have to wisely say no to what your heart wants to do.

You and your family have been in my prayers and thoughts. Hope your mom is
getting a chance to get better and that the graduation this weekend brings
everyone much joy.
