Hi Lori and all,

My Mom is not doing well. She can't walk and her right hand is affected.
She is very depressed. She is in a nursing home for rehab, but is refusing
to eat. She also suffers from mild dementia, but the stroke may have made
it worse. When I call her I try to be as positive as I can, though I just want
to cry. I tell her she will be okay and please eat and do the things they
ask her to do. She sounded better last week, but I think her situation has
sunk in.

I sleep from exhaustion, but not well..haven't for years. To be honest, I
think I began giving up on life a few years ago. Doctors were doing nothing
for me, not even helping my pain. I am gaunt now and fairly bedridden. Anytime I've tried to do something positive I hit a brick wall. I don't see any reason to go on. My Mom and I have been each others only support. I do have a companion I hire who helps us a few hours every night. She is an ANGEL. She is bringing my
Mom some Ensure tonight.

Thank you for your concern. It is more meaningful than I can express.

Kevin

     Dear Friends,

     My Mom had a stroke on Sunday. She is in the hospital. She has
     weakness on her
     right side and speech deficits. We have been each others support
     and caregivers
     for years. I feel more scared and alone than I have ever felt.

     Please say a prayer for her recovery. Her name is Olga. Thank you.

     Prayers to you all,
     Kevin
