My previous thread is almost two years old, so I thought an updated one would be better. My mother turned 87 this July; the previous thread was Mom is 85 with fluctuating blood sugar. I pray for her conversion to the Church too.
My mom’s (type 2) diabetes and her blood pressure have been stabilized with medication and daily injections.
I was talking to her on the phone this afternoon.
We didn’t discuss our differing religious beliefs, although I know she is still disappointed and sound like she thinks I’ve been ‘brainwashed’. (My words, I don’t recall whether or not she used ‘brainwashed’.) My greatest wish for her is that she will accept Christ’s Church and teachings, and be able to eat His Body and drink His Blood before her death.
Health-wise there’s been a new development:
She had a fall (while sitting in her walker, she doesn’t know how) and hit the back of her head on the ground outside of her nursing home. That was about a couple of weeks ago.
Sometime after that (we do not even know if it is connected) she started having hallucinations – she’s seeing people come into her room as she’s trying to read or watch TV. She gets very annoyed by this. She expressed it this way: “I even get mad at them and chase them out sometimes.” She is well aware that there is no one there and that it is all in her head. These hallucinations are quite vivid, as in being able to see the clothes and different colours, etc. It sounds scary to me. Late last week she went for a CAT scan … she won’t hear from the doc for a week or two.
If you have the time please pray for her and her immortal soul. She has great faith in Jesus, but cannot accept any Church teachings about Mother Mary, for instance.
Thank you and God be with you,
Reg.
For my mother (Esther), her health and her conversion to Your Church I pray:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
**Our Father, Who art in Heaven, **
**hallowed be Thy Name. **
**Thy Kingdom come. **
Thy Will be done,
on earth, as it is in Heaven.
**Give us this day our daily bread **
**and forgive us our trespasses **
**as we forgive those who trespass against us; **
**and lead us not into temptation, **
**but deliver us from evil. **
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
**Blessed art thou amongst women, **
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
**Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen. **
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Jesus is so understanding – and has a great sense of humor too! Enjoy the person of your Mom each moment that you can – it is difficult sometimes.
(I like coffee) and ask for help when you need/want it. Caregiving can be stressful. I hope this uplifts you a bit.
