[SuziQ]

I would like to ask y'all if you would keep my Mama in your prayers and thoughts. I talked to my sister today and they put Mama in the hospital just before Isidore hit. They were concerned because she's on the oxygen and was trying to pull out her IV and catheter. She is pretty well sedated at this point, and even if she survives the hospital stay, she won't be going back home; we'll have to find a convalescent home for her. She has deteriorated rapidly since we saw her in August. She had been battling congestive heart failure on top of the ravages of Alzheimer's, but she's been more and more confused the last few weeks and had begun talking just gibberish.

At this point we're praying she'll have a peaceful death, and soon. She had already signed a form asking for no extraordinary means if she were put in the hospital, and the family had decided a while ago to sign a 'no code' order for her. We certainly don't want to bring her back to this frustrating existence in a selfish bid to make US feel better about still having her with us!

I sure will keep you in my prayers, sis. I am so proud of you and your family for the way you are handling this.

We'll be praying Suzi. We're in a not-too-different situation with my father-in-law. Difference for us is that he has his mental faculties all together (well as much as any of us), so he can get cantankerous when we suggest things he doesn't want to do.

I think times like this are the times we remember that it's really better to ask Him to walk with us through the valley rather than take us out of the valley.

Peace.

Thank you for sharing what is happening with your Mama. I pray she has peace soon. You are also in my prayers.

My prayers for your mama, and your family, SuziQ.

Will do, SuziQ! (Hey, that rhymes!)

Keep us updated.
