Changes

Sunday, June 15, 2008 | A Breaking News story

Today has had some changes that are both good and bad to my desire to be home again soon. First of all the wing I was on will be undergoing construction starting tomorrow morning and I was moved mid-afternoon to another wing. That is just fine and I settled in easily with the help of my daughter and husband. it is strange being on a wing dedicated to those over age 75 and hearing the poor patients fighting confusion. I'm actually the 'youngster' on the block!

I also got a call from my younger sister informing me that our brother-in-law will be remarrying in July. My older sister passed away from a rheumatoid lung complication at age 62, just four years ago and although I am very happy he is again finding happiness I will miss my sister even more now I think. I believe God has given both my b-i-l and his new bride a second chance after both lost their life mates after many years of marriage.

Lastly, I am going to have a restless night from the yelling going on down the hall. I will be praying for this person as the night goes on while the patient is fighting the bed and need to be here. The medical staff is dealing with it all in a very professional and kind way but I have not had prior exposure to the throws of dimentia related mental illness at this level and it is unnerving for me just now. For many reasons I yearn for my own bed in my own home more than ever.

Dear Father, please grant this person some tranquility tonight and peace for those also here. I ask your guidance for the staff involved too. I pray you will bless my b-i-l in his new marriage and all of my family as they go about their daily lives tomorrow and throughout the coming week. Be with and keep all here on DS in the comfort and healing of your arms. Amen Father, Amen

Dementia is a slow and painful death. I watched as my dear ggrandmother went through this.t was horrible, it took an active, loving, sweet natured lady and turned her into someone none of us recognized. I pray for them as well.
i hope that you will soon have your wish and be home in your own comfy bed surrounded by your things and family. debbie

My grandmom died the same way, no one knew her any more, and it was the most difficult part...but father's day is important day for you and your family.. our fathers (my and Julia's both were so far).

Anyone that reads Sylvia's journals knows what an inspiration and source of encouragement she is for everyone here on DS. Sadly, Sylvia is not doing well - she is still in the hospital and now is on a ventilator. She needs EVERYONE'S prayers -- pleeeeeeeeeeease please pray for her recovery and for God to take away this awful disease she has. The little girl Maia that Sylvia is so close to is my granddaughter and I love Sylvia so much for caring for her like she did. She now needs the support and love and prayers that she so graciously gave everyone here. Please take time out of your day today and days to come and say a prayer for her and her family. Thanks! Lenora

Sylvia,
I only knew you for a little bit, and in that little bit you made a difference in my life. You were the first person I picked to speak to on this website. nothing is a coincidence. I am so sorry you are gone. Didn't realize that your first name was Sylvia. The other days Mary told me to pray for Sylvia, and I did, but did not know it was you. I realized this today, on my birthday. I am going through so much right now and I feel that even in your leaving, you left me a message. God bless you, thank-you for being there, and I hope I get to meet you in person one day in heaven. My condolences to the family,
Sincerely
Jeff Andrew
PS Funny, she spoke to me about her two sons, Jeff and Andrew, and that that had gotten her attention to speak to me, again nothing is a coincidence.
