Go to God in Prayer

10/02/2009

This is what the hospice nurse told dad to do when he is having a bad day. That really seemed to calm him down. There is no doubt about it, these are some of the most difficult days that we have faced as a family. Dad is still confused, at times very agitated, and paranoid. The hardest part is that the ones he loves (especially mom) are the ones that he suspects are doing "bad things" to him. We are just trying to keep the medicine regulated so that we don't have extreme episodes of agitation. Pray especially for mom...she cares for dad around the clock and it's very painful for her to watch him suffer with this. Thanks for your continued support and prayers. I can't imagine going thru this without the faith that we have that Jesus is with us each step of the way.

You all are in our prayers many, many times a day! Wish we could be there to give you a big hug. Praying Jesus will give you many "hugs" as you feel His presence moment by moment. We love you all so much!
Lovingly in Christ, Chuck & Ann

We need prayer!! We have had a very long day with dad. He woke up from resting @3pm and ever since then, he has had severe paranoia, confusion- psychotic. He is very difficult to control or reason with. He really felt like we were out to get him today instead of help him. Multiple calls to hospice who in turn called the doc for advice, and you would not believe the amount of medicine that it took to finally calm him down, and who knows how long that calmness will last. Please, we are asking that you pray that God clears the fog...

Love Never Dies I know that many of you have lifted us up in prayer today, and I know that we have had a direct answer to your prayers...this morning in my update, dad didn't want mom to help him in any way. He thought she was the enemy. However, sometime early afternoon, he pulled her close to him and was telling her how much he loved her and remembering past times like when he proposed to her and said they needed to pray about something that we couldn't quite make out, but he started praying just the very sweetest prayer. He had...
