Sun is peaking through!

Thank you, everyone who has prayed. I know you are out there and praying for us, just as I know God has us in his hands. I told you he'd take care of it.

I started calling and emailing contacts for information. During that time, I found out that just a couple of weeks ago MS changed how they calculate medicaid eligiblity. Looking over the numbers, I cant see how she could possibly be denied this time. Reading the requirements, I cant see how she would be denied the insurance part OR the long term care she's going to need pretty soon. From in home help to facility, whatever the doctors deem most appropriate. I found the scoring form and formula for scoring, and based on what I know about her I can't help but think they will probably deem her eligible for 24/7 care.

So its a waiting game now.

She's had two good days since our terrible experience, even talking and recognizing people and participating at church wed night. That's good. I like the good days.

I also like not smelling poo when I walk in the door in the evenings. So thank you God for both!

Came home to a terrible terrible mess

And my sweet husband cleaned it up while I was outside trying to not to puke. Thats enough info, mkay?

But seeing how bad it was, makes me realize that mom doesnt need to be at home alone period. However, I cant do anything about it. I have to work. Jimmy has to work. We have to have a house to live in, and food to eat. God will provide away out of this. I know he will.

However, after much introspection and much prayer tonight, I think its time to call a care home, and see what the admissions process would be like. I am fortunate to know someone who works at a great one, and she's given me some names.

As you know, mom has nothing. no medicaid, and she doesn't qualify for medicare yet. I can only pray that God moves in the situation. I cant. He has to take care of this. He's taken us this far. He loves me, he loves my mom, he loves my family. He will make a way.

Jesus Hold Me NOW!

Long time no blog

We've been in kind of a holding pattern, nothing much new.

I found out all my crazy stuff was stress, and that tiny muscle in my neck was causing the headaches and dizzy spells. Crazy huh? I'm working on that. I found a way to get out of the house to help, painting on canvas at a place in town.

Mom is hanging in there. I've had to get her to start wearing disposable undergarments, because she needs them. I hope this prolongs us having to change any of her routine. Medicaid STILL hasnt ruled on her Nov application. Everything takes so long to do!

My daughter's wonderful understanding (mom has alz) teacher quit two weeks ago. Its been a tough transition for my child. She is the first person in her life to just go away suddenly.
