This was posted on another thread, and I think it needs to be posted where it will be seen by, and responded to by more prayer warriors!! Please keep this issue raised in prayer!!

Today my mom was admitted to the hospital - they have found a "large mass" (doctor's exact words) in her lungs so they are going to do a broncoscopy tomorrow (Aug 18) I believe. In the meantime, she has been the caretaker for my dad who had a stroke 4 years ago, leaving him brain damaged and he has a multitude of health problems (too numerous to name). I have so many decisions to make in the upcoming days and have to find a place for him right now so he is safe and cared for. He is very belligerent to me. I am all on my own in this since I have no help from siblings (one is out of town and one just won't help or contribute any physical or any support at all).

I'm feeling really low at this point but I trust in my Heavenly Father to guide me. Anyway, prayers are sincerely coveted.

Thanks.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that You never leave nor forsake Your children. Make Your Presence so very real to Paved, for she is now charged with the care of her parents and feels so very much alone with the decisions that must be made. Guide her in every aspect of their care, O God ... open up the many doors that are needed to assure the safety and well being of her father. Temper him, that he might help in his own situation, and that of his wife. May the results of her tests show that the mass is benign, Merciful Father ... touch her and heal her, in the Name of Jesus, we pray. Work in the hearts of Paved's siblings, that they might share some of the burden and anxiety in the care of their parents. Thank You, Lord, for walking with this family, and for Paved's complete trust in You. In the Name of Jesus, we praise You, Amen ...

Update!!!

Thanks so much. I had a crazy day over here. I had to admit my dad to an assisted living facility. Fortunately, my teenage niece was able to spend last evening with him but I had to get him out by today.

We visited my mom at the hospital and she explained that he needed to go to this place so they could take care of him. He insisted he could stay by himself but he absolutely cannot. He wouldn't get out of the car when we got there but by God's grace (I think having my niece present helped because Gramps always tries to put on a good face for his granddaughter), we got him inside.

I just cried. He was shaking like a leaf and kept saying he wanted "out of here." After I saw the hard chair in his room, I even went back to his house and loaded up my small SUV with "his" chair so he'd at least feel a little more at home.

I'm thankful my niece was with me as she was a big help.

Meanwhile, the pulmonary doc finally came in this evening around 5:30 p.m. but I was no longer at the hospital. They are doing the bronchoscopy at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.

It's nice to lay my troubles out to brothers and sisters in Christ. Thanks again. I will keep you posted. I'm asking for prayers for a good outcome and for skill for the doctor and comfort for my mom and of course for my dad too.
