Hi all,
My elderly parents are always having some health issues of different kinds and I would like to request prayers for their health please.
My mum has venous leg ulcer problem that at one stage was very critical as it looked gangrenous.
Now it looks a bit better, but she still has a lot of Edema and is very overweight and has heart/aorta/cholesterol issues and more.
This last couple of weeks she is now having incontinence at night and this is causing me worry as these sorts of things can cause sepsis in elderly due to the bacteria.
I hope it is just uti but I’m worried because there can be other causes like dementia etc that can cause incontinence.
Either way, it is dangerous for elderly to stay in situation of incontinence and can cause delirium, septics infection etc.
I am also worried that she will get a stroke or dementia as she has very high blood pressure that is untreated.
Can you PLEASE also pray that my mum will be willing to drink the juices (tomato, beetroot etc) that I buy her that may help with lowering blood pressure,
She won’t drink them because she says she doesn’t like the taste.
Health is not about taste though but I don’t know how to get this through to her!
My elderly dad is also extremely stressed now as he is dealing with mamas health problems and more expectancy from him.
I am sick with worry for them.
Doctors and nurses solutions (while some may be caring) are not good for elderly imo.
Incontinence pads, catheters etc just exacerbate older people heath issues and become a downward spiral of more health problems.
I feel helpless/hopeless sometimes that there is anything I can do for my parents health.
Please can you pray to God for both of their health and that they will do the things necessary to improve their health.
