Hello again
My phone does not work. Well it works but the touch screen does not work at all. Today the phone rang several times. I could not answer it. So the phone does not work. It will be at least three weeks before the new phone arrives.
Most of the time I have used my phone to write post, answer all. while I am on the bus. I have 3 hours of traveling each way to go and take care of my mother. And then back again. I used it in the morning, as well as my computer. So now I cannot answer or post until I get back each night.
Here in lies the problem.
By the way mom is much better now,even though she has not eaten in two weeks, except through intravenous.Now that mom is no longer getting this she needs to be fed. And because she had not eaten in a few weeks and is having problems swallowing. Mom needs to remember how to swallow again. At first it was thickened water, horrible tasting, am getting use to it. In order for me to get mom to drink the thickened water, I have to take some first and then mom will. This has gone on for a week, and now we are introducing boost. A little bit at a time. I cannot give her allot at a time. Just a teaspoon at a time and having to wait for a few minutes to give her more.
This applies to both the boost and the thickened water. So it is a slow process. This I give mom over the entire time I am with her. I have now started to arrive ;at 3 pm and leaving at 8:30 pm. but I can't get enough in her to make much of a difference.
The problem is the staff can't get mom to drink anything. I get there each day to find out that the staff could not get mom to drink anything.
But she will take it from me. Without a problem.
Now in order for mom to get what she needs to stay alive it has to be given to her all day long. I live 3 hours away by bus. I am trying to get there earlier. I now need to get there, say by 2 pm. I can't do any earlier. I don't even get home until 10:30 pm.
If I don't get enough in her she cannot survive.
It is make or break time for GOD to help me. I need to be living in White Rock in order to get mom to live. So I can be there at noon and feed mom a little at a time until I leave at night.
After all we have gone through over the last month, mom beating the odds and what the doctors expected even, only to let her go like this Starving. If I can't get enough in mom each day, and the staff can't get any in her each day. Mom will starve to death.
I can't let this happen. I am the only one who can feed her. She just won't let anyone else feed her. I pray each day that mom allows others to feed her. I pray each day and all day that GOD grants my prayer, to help me move to White Rock. To supply the finances I need to do this right away. I
I need to be living in White Rock immediately, as in the end of the month. I don't have the funds. I have not been able to do any of the PT work I was doing. I am taking care of mom or traveling to and from.
If I were to be there at noon, I would be burn't out within a week. I would need to get up very early and go to bed as soon as I get back at night. I have to unwind a bit at night.
So I ask once again to please pray that GOD grants me an answer to my prayer.
If I lived there I would be there at noon each day and stay. Feeding mom a little bit every 5 to 10 minutes or so. Until I left at 8 each night If I only had a five to ten minutes walk home each night and there in the day. I would be able to take care of mom and do what else is needed to survive.
I need to go now, very tired and I need to eat something. I haven't eaten properly in a few days.
GOD bless and good night
