First some background. My mom is 83 ...

First some background. My mom is 83 years old and has dementia and chronic kidney disease. Her dementia was under control with meds and she was leading a semi-normal life. I moved in with her last April to take care of her.

This past weekend her dementia reached a new stage and now she's having paranoid delusions. The neurologist has prescribed Zoloft, of which she has taken a few doses, but her mental condition is barely better.

I am afraid she has taken a permanent turn for the worst.

Here are the problems:

1. I do not want her to suffer the indignities and horrors of the nursing home like my grandmother did.

2. In-home care and assisted living are very expensive and just barely exist in this area. My mom's retirement income does not begin to cover it.

3. In the state where I live, if an adult child (me) moves in with the parent and cares for that parent for two years, the state can't take the parent's house if the adult child has lived there two years. Our two years is not up until April.

We are in a crisis situation. My mom is scared to death of what is happening to her. She doesn't want to be left alone and tries to wander off if she's left alone. I can't stay home with her because I have a job I have to go to. My boss is already getting tired of my missing days to take care of my mom. I can't really afford to invoke the FMLA because I need a paycheck.

And most of all I'm tired of watching my mom suffer. She is a Christian and is praying not to live much longer.

I pray the Lord would mercifully call her home to be with Him quickly. Please end her suffering Lord and let not her condition also ruin me financially as well.

She is currently in a hospital under psychiatric evaluation because she has exhibited psychotic behavior in addition to her dementia.

Please pray the Lord takes her to be with him and spares her any suffering from mental illness or the horrors of a nursing home. Please pray the Lord sends the right people to us who can help us in the meantime get her the right care and not ruin us financially.
 
Praying with and for you in Jesus.

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
 
Sometimes we have to face the fact that a nursing home is the only answer but there are definite steps that can be taken to assure her proper care for instance installing a hidden camera in her room so you can monitor her 24/7. The Lord has determined a certain amount of days for your mother to live and only He will and should determine that time period. I know how difficult these decisions are believe me but just like you knew you had to be living in her home for two years to save it you surely know her life is precious in Father God's eyes and as long as there is life in her body she has a right to expect the very best you can do for her in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
 
I recently heard there is a new medicine out this year, ask your doctor about Nuplazid for hallucinations and delusions. It is only approved for parkinsons patients, but if your doctor feels it could benefit he may still write it off label for the treatment of her hallucinations and delusions. It may get approval for patients with dementia in the next year.

Dear Great Physician, Please help this family. Heal this mother of her problems so she has good quality of life. Provide the best medicines if they can help. Bless this family greatly with good health and love and support. In Jesus name, AMEN
