Alzheimer's
Please pray for me. My 86-year old granny, whom I have been the sole caretaker to for the last 3 years, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She was in the hospital Christmas week, and since she's been home, she has had various episodes. She's been calling me by my deceased mother's name on more than 1 occasion lately.
I have a family meeting scheduled for this week to discuss immediate and long-term plans with 2 of her 4 living children, and 1 of her neices. I work full-time, and if she keeps progressing as rapidly as she is, I will not be able to give her the 24-hour care that she needs. We are already doing all of her cooking and administering her meds to her.
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will give me the right words to say to the family, as I am trying to hold back some hostility I have towards them for not having an active role in the care of their mother for the past 3 years. Pray that a consensus is reached, and that my granny will be cared for the way she deserves to be cared for.
