My Daughter is suffering from a long term illness, mental. They have reached the limit that they can do with drugs, at this point.
They are proposing that she be institutionalized, long term care. She is a vibrant young lady, whom I love as life itself. I do not wish to see her as another drugged up drone in an institution.
Your daughter will be kept in my prayer intentions.
Bill, sometimes the drug companies provide medications at a reduced cost for those who can't afford them. It is worth looking into, if she doesn't respond to the other drugs tried.
May God bring healing to your daughter and sustain your family.
Mrs VS
,,, prayers and thoughts are with you from downunder.
I've been in your shoes with a couple of close family members, my friend. My Mom and my brother. There's nothing easy about it.
Mental illness is so hard to deal with. My older brother was hit with it in his early twenties...same with Mom...which is when it shows up in most cases. They, and we, had alot of rough years.
But to inject a note of hope, my Mom did much better in her later years, and today my brother is married and has two beautiful kids. There are still periodic struggles, health problems, and life is far from perfect, but he is a wonderful, warm, smart human being of great worth.
Yes, he relies on medication to keep things under control, but more importantly, he has faith.
The Rock of our salvation, Jesus, if you can get them to grasp on, is the stability they need to control their thoughts and emotions.
You and your beautiful daughter are in my prayers.
Heartfelt prayers
Amen.
Prayers sent!
Ping!
Prayers sent to you, your daughter and your family.
Thank You, We have been through alot to keep going and could not have done so without Chris' desire to live and God.
God Bless You and Yours.
I pray that God will send someone to help you in this hour of need.
I can't imagine what you have been going through and I will certainly pray for your daughter and you. I wish I could offer more.
Talk to you local pharmacist about contacting the drug companies that supply the needed medications which she can't afford. Most drug companies will supply them for little or no charge if you can supply the information that she can't afford them. I, too, am praying...
That sounds like the understatement of the century. I will pray for her and for you...
Oh, Little Bill....I'll pray for her and for you. I can't even imagine how hard this must be.
PLEASE keep all of us informed...we're family here.
May the Lord's healing virtue infuse your daughter, to His glory.
And likewise for you, cobalt.
Your love for her is so strong that I can feel it just reading your post.
I can't offer you much beyond my prayers for your family, and you have that.
God bless.
