sissy,

i know exactly how you feel, i was in the same boat with my dad, there were

times i would pray for his health and then there were just as many times that i

would pray for his peace. unfortunately iwht lbd, there are NO rules, NO set

stages. our poor lo's can progress, regress, plateau many times, back adn

forth, it is so depressing, there can evven be changes with in hte same day. as

hard as it is on us, it has to be harder for them, to one time know how to use

your fork, and then the next meal not beable to. i used to see the frustration

in my dads face when he tried to do simple tasks that he knew he should be able

to do but couldnt, , this is really difficult disease, as there are no rules,

so just try to swing with it, laugh at the funny times, cry with us in the

difficutl times and do the best thatyou can. hugs, sharon m

dear group as i have written before my beloved husband has taken a turn

for the worse, the Dr. think now he may have shingles seems like

something new every week, we have been fighting a pressure sore on his

heel since October 2005 he is not a diabetic but just wont get

well.This may seem cruel to some of you but i used to pray and have

prayer chains for him to get well, but i know now that is not going to

happen, i now pray that if God is not going to give him back to me to

have mercy and take him home to live with our Lord , my husband would

not want to live like this (if you call this living). my husband was

doing pretty good until April then it seems like overnight he started

going down fast my question is does this come and go in stages or once

they start declining do they keep getting worse. sissy
