Subdeacon Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The lady we are doing elder care for, Beverly, came home from the hospital yesterday (Christmas Eve day). She is in some pain from having surgery on her left hip in mid-November and on her right hip about Dec. 15. She seems to be slipping away. Her dementia has worsened, she sleeps in fits and starts - maybe 15 minutes and then wakes up for a while. And that in spite of a pretty heavy load of drugs. I'd ask prayers from you for her ease and comfort, whether that means healing on this Earth or reposing in the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 You're all aces in my book! Thank you so very much, on behalf of us all. It has made for one of the more "interesting" Christmases I've had. The way things are, I suspect we will "do Christmas" across the freeway with the ROCOR parish since they use the Julian calendar to recon the Feast of the Nativity rather than the Gregorian.

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks again. I've drawn the middle watch, and maybe a few bells of the morning watch so my wife can get some sleep. Then she will take the morning watch, I get the forenoon, then nap until time for me to go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Taft Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Joe, I just saw this now. You have have my prayers for this lady and your wife and you. We'd talked on Christmas Eve. While it was a lot of jabber on my part.... :blink:/> :lol:/> Trust me when I say it was a pure blessing to hear from you. A real spirit lifter for sure! We'd talked about this lady's condition for a while. Confusion in one's surroundings is always hard, and can lead to bigger health problems just due to the stress that's involved with that confusion. Her condition is a bit different from that of my Grandfather's but seem to have the same effects. I hate to see anyone slipping away due to this type of problem. I pray that she may get stronger of the mind and heart and rest at ease to heal her body. I pray that you and your wife may see some comfort through it all......it can be just a trying for the caregiver in this situation as it can be for the patient. You are on my mind, Pard. Once again, it was great to hear from you. If ya ever need a break and want to talk guns, philosophy or the like, you have my number......and I will always make time to chat! ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thank you all so much. In truth, her death was a blessing for her. Her mind was pretty much gone the last two days and she was starting to relive some pretty hellish parts of her past when she was awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
