Disciple of Prayer
My mother, Florence, has been doing fine with the eating/drinking for a little while, but I have noticed her ability to eat/drink diminishing again based on the way she coughs when eating. I don't know if it's due to environment (nursing home is undergoing renovation), heat (pretty hot but a/c seems to be working), health condition, etc., I need a prayer for her as she weighs under 90lbs (which is the lower end of ideal for her frame) and any time she misses a meal I get very concerned, however I do not want to risk aspiration or worse pneumonia either so I direct her not to eat when she coughs during eating.
And also that her saliva thins out as her saliva has a tendency to get thicker; and it seems to be triggered by her emotional state or during certain weather. But this is just speculation. Please pray for her as protecting her and keeping her healthy is my mission.
I am planning on having her see the swallow evaluation/speech therapist again, but in the mean time please pray that whatever it is that's causing this gets resolved through the power of prayer. And if anyone has suggestions that'd be great too. Thank you all for continuing to support me it really means a lot.
