We are going to have a family meeting today around 2:00 (Central Time) to try and make some decisions with, and for, my parents. They are in their 80's and have reached a point where they are not able to really take care of themselves - and are actually dangerous. None of the options we have at this time are the greatest but something has to be done. While my sister is still here from South Carolina we are going to try to make some decisions that aren't going to be easy for any of us. Unless God intervenes, my parents, particularly my mother, will try to end this up in a major brawl. Please say a prayer for ALL of us for this meeting. We need wisdom, understanding, receptiveness, peace, etc. I appreciate any and ALL prayers you can send our way. Thanks!

However, I will ask God for a special blessing upon you regarding your present situation and I don't envy you having to make it.
 
May God bless and grant your request for your parents in making the right decision for them and for all concerned! May there be peace, love and only concern for them in their getting the help they need! It is difficult to leave the home and/or give up taking care of ourselves, I know I will be coming to the same situation, as I am already ill and 75 years young! Older people get depressed when they cannot think clearly or do what they used to do, so I pray for understanding on both sides and to help all to have peace and comfort in whatever decision is made for theirs and everyone's good and for God's purpose, for He is in control when we let Him be and the hope and faith in His love never fails! May the Lord bless and keep you all in the palm of His hand and give you all godly wisdom to do what will be the best for everyone involved in the decision making! Lean on and trust in Jesus, Lisa, and everything will turn out okay, for He loves us with an everlasting love which never fails to do the best thing for each of us when we do put all our understanding in Him! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Know what it is like...Sherry had to put her Mother in a nursing home because of Lewy Body Dimentia. (Similar in many ways like Alzheimer's but not the same...drugs use for Alzheimer's given to a LBD patient can kill them. Also, with LBD it isn't a rapid decline like Alzheimer's...it is slow and there are good days and bad ones.) She lost everything she had including her house (which she almost burned down...fire in a trash can in the kitchen.) Internal Revenue took the house and whatever else she had was repossessed or was taken to pay for her stay at the nursing home. We did get to donate her baby grand piano to the nursing home so she still could play it...but that isn't hers anymore either).

It is definitely a hard thing to do with parents. Mine are all gone so I am saved that pain. Praying for the parents, and you all as well.
 
All I can say is that it turned uglier than I ever imagined. It was so bad that we got our very first experience with having to call for law enforcement to come out. Two deputies and a Sate Trooper came. We were called every name in the book, threatened, cussed (and my mother has never been a "cusser") and any number of other things. She is hooked on pain pills and nerve pills and we told her if she/they wouldn't "comply" then she would no longer be able to drive due to her health (my daddy hasn't been able to drive for several years). She went ballistic and started running around trying to hide her ton of prescription bottles before the police got there. I don't know that anything was accomplished. We were told to get out and to never set foot in their house again, not to ever call and not to worry about them - ever. I appreciate the prayers and I ask you to please continue. If you hadn't have been praying, there's no telling how much worse it could have been. I have no clue what is going to happen from here.

My prayers will continue for all of you. God makes good of all things and will this too. Take comfort, He is in control.
Jer. 29:11
 
Girl, I am so sorry things didn't go as you had hoped. I've seen my parents struggle with the same decisions where my grandparents are concerned-and it is beyond hard. Sometimes it takes years to understand GODS plans and we have no other options but to have faith and put our trust in him. Praying for you all.
 
Sorry that things turned out so badly with your parents...just remember she is not in her right mind because of all the pills which alternates from rational thinking to bizarre! In time, there will be need of Home Health Care, Living Care Center or Nursing Home, but all we can do is pray and ask God for help in Jesus' name in making the right decision for them and all of you! My children will eventually probably have to make the same decision for me and I am praying that God will take me Home before I get in that shape of inability to think or make decisions for myself but no one knows for sure what will happen and what they will have to go through before the end of this mortal life but by believing faith in Jesus we will have everlasting life with our blessed Savior! So hang in there Lisa everything will work out according to God's plan! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
