When it rains it pours huh! I'll defenitly pray for you and Im sorry for youe circumstance. Maybe you could try to get some kind of state funding for in-home nursing care. There are many programs that do that kind of thing.  |

I'm so sorry for your situation. My grandfather was ill with dementia during the last years of his life, which got increasingly worse, but his was due to blocked carotid arteries, which caused mini-strokes. Toward the end, we, too had to put him in a nursing home... and we told him that it was 'just until he got stronger'. Truth be told, the illness affected his mind, and he didn't seem to realize that we had put him in a home... and he enjoyed having all the young nurses there flirt with him. ;) (My grandpa was a pretty big flirt himself, LOL... as was his 94 yo roomate.. my grandpa was 87). As for bringing him home for the holidays, given that he is an Alzheimers patient, even though I don't know the status, I would advise against it, even though I know it is heart-breaking. I speak from both a personal and medical experience here. From what we were told around the holidays from the staff at the facility my grandfather was in, and what I learned during my training as a medical assistant. It can be difficult and disruptive on them to leave what is their environment, and the slightest disruption to that schedule can really throw them off kilter...What I would suggest is talking to the home where your father is staying. Many places offer/invite families to come and eat with their loved ones... or let them bring dinner to them, and are quite accomodating. We shared a Thanksgiving meal prepared by the staff at the home with my grandfather there... and it was every bit as nice, in fact, nicer in a way, because of the new 'family' we had acquired with the other residents at the home and their families. My own grandpa passed on Dec. 31st 2001, the same year we put him in the nursing home, but I still do not regret the decision that we made together as a family to put him there. I know he was well taken care of, happy, and loved. I will continue to pray for your situation... perhaps you can look into finding either at home care with a live in nurse that state funding will pay for (sometimes, depending on the situation, medicare will cover the benefits), or perhaps if your father was a veteran, there may be some benefits there as well. Also see if you can find a facility closer to where you live, so you may visit more frequently. Hold tight to your faith, you will find a way to cope...I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, and ask both my grandparents to look down on your father from heaven. I know that I'm only 25, but if this is something you should want to discuss further, I would be more than happy to provide you with a shoulder to cry on.. just email me at cmhughes@zoominternet.net Take care... and try not to feel guilty... you are only doing what you feel is best for all involved... remember that you have to take care of yourself, too... because if you don't do that, how can you take care of anyone else? E-mail me anytime, I'll be there to listen if you need me.  |

Thank you sooo much for all of your kind words!!! It really means alot to know that people do care. And yes... prayer does work!! Did you hear about the miracle baby that was pronounced dead but wasn't? It seems they are few and far between but if we really look hard we can see miracles each and every day. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!  |
