My mother-in-law is currently being looked after in a dementia care facility. Recently she fell and broke her left arm. It has been more than 6 weeks and the bone has not healed. She repeatedly removes the cast and uses the arm and has fallen on it again since. She does not seem to remember that she has broken it either and tries to use it often. She is stressed as she does not seem to understand what is happening to and around her anymore and can also become violent with those trying to help her. She often tells people that nothing is wrong and they should leave her alone.
We have had new x-rays done and no healing has taken place - in fact the bone has shifted and the break is worse. She also has osteoporosis, which does not help and the doctors feel that surgery and anesthesia could be life threatening. We also don’t want her to lose her left hand (as she is left handed as well).
My wife is having to deal with the doctors and a group of uncaring nurses to add to the stress. Please pray for my mom-in- law that she would pull through and that the doctors would be able to treat the situation well, and also for my wife, who is trying to do everything that she can and is struggling against a broken and uncaring medical system, and a mother who does not understand what is happening to her and can sometimes get aggressive or even violent.
Jesus we trust in you.
