Prayers

Hola Peoples...

So, I work with a lovely chickipoo named Rae. Rae is such a good person and so strong. However, her mother (who is only 65) has been diagnosed as being in the early stages of Alzheimer's and seems to be progressing abnormally quickly. They are in the midst of dr's appts, ER visits, panicked calls from mom, and Rae is the only person there for her mom, so EVERYTHING is being heaped onto her shoulders. She does not complain. She does whatever is necessary for her mom. She wakes up to confused calls from her mom and gets them all throughout the day. She deals with doctor's offices and staff, who can be and have been quite rude. She goes to her mom's house to try to explain little things and help her with financial matters. She drops everything when her mom needs something. Her mom is so confused and so upset, b/c even though she is going downhill fast, she is still aware enough to know how confused she is.... Anyway, I was just hoping anyone willing would send up some prayers for Rae and for her mom as it is all starting to catch up with her and there's just new stressors every day. From the paperwork end of things to the watching her mom look like a "terrified child" and not be able to subtract 7 from 100, Rae is just really upset and in need of prayer. Thank you for taking the time!

OH....on a personal note...big boy Evan stayed for an afternoon at a new place yesterday and was such a good boy! He only cried when I picked him up to take him home! He is there today and couldn't wait to get there! I barely got a smooch when I dropped him off. I was really worried about the whole situation, so I am so thankful for my adaptable, big boy and to Amber, for giving him her time!
