The companion of my mother was seeing her yesterday. He phoned me yesterday evening to tell me he had found she troubled and confused. So I tried to join a doctor today (after a dozen calls). The doctors change every three months... The doctor who is currently (she's very unpleasant !!!) told me that the previous doctor had been too optimistic and does not share his view ...

It turns out that she has hemiplegia on left members (I knew) but reversible, and there, I was ignorant, of mental disorders who are may be reversible with rehabilitation, but no guarantee!

imagine what state I am after this news! while the previous doctor had assured me there would be no psychological sequelae ....and physical rehabilitation should last at least a year...

it's true that I had a little doubt such optimism, but I do not think about that!

I am so sad, I'm crying.... I will continue to crying and praying...

Sissi, please don't give up or give in to all the dr's are saying. Only God has a right to make that decision. Rehabilitation is lengthly, but it is so useful. Hang on to every last ounce of strength, every prayer and to all of the blessings that God, himself, has given..We will all be here to talk to, to pray with and to lean on when needed. Believe me, I know just how hard it is to keep your faith. But I also know that without it, I could have never made it through the last 3 months with Mom. You are strong and tho sometimes we get tired of being strong, God made you that way for a reason. I have faith, not only in God, but also in you...Prayers and many of God's many blessings, Libbie

Dear sweet Sissi,
It is not news one would like to hear, but who is to say that this physician is correct, while the other one was incorrect? I will pray for you and your mother, and will pray that she is able to be rehabilitated quickly.
Hugs and love to you and to your Mother,
Jacqueline

I am holding you, close your eyes and feel the warmth of loving arms around you...I know the loss from recent events....I also know that the 3 people I have lost in the last 3 weeks, I will see again sometime soon......Hold onto that thought and remember our LORD will always be with them through everything...He will also hold you up, little one, have no fear.....When you think of the Heavenly Father, let him have your complete control.....when things get worst, he will carry you, when things are good, he will walk beside you.....Cry for the lost ones on this earth that have passed or are in darkness....rejoice for those who know JESUS and have passed on or are passing on....For those are already taken care of more than either you or I could ever do.....

Sissi, if you and your mother know the LORD, then there is absolutely no reason to be sad...If it comes to the time your mother is called home, then you can rejoice and be happy that she will not have to endure this dying world anymore....Her reward is waiting on high and you will be able to relax in that knowledge......It may seem sad at this time because you are in a limbo stage, but there is always a blessing in every situation that arises if you look for it.....I am here if you need me, sweetie........deanna

Sissi, my prayers are for you and your mother. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this sadness now. When bad things happen, we may not understand, but there is someone greater than us that sees the whole picture, not just the tiny corner of the picture. Please trust that God knows your heart. I wish I could also give you hugs.

Sissi, I know this is hard for you, and if you need to cry to relieve the stress, go ahead. But when you stop crying, think of everything good about this situation. For one, your Mom is still with you, and you didn't at first even have any hope of that, they thought she would not wake up, that she would just pass on. The other doctor may have been too optimistic, but stroke and other brain damage can be an odd thing. Some people recover from horrible damage, some don't ever come back right from what looks like very little damage. You mother had a really bad episode, and it would be understandable that she has good and bad days. It will take her a long time to recover, I'm sure. It's still a miracle that she is alive and aware at all! Of course there's no guarantee, Sylvie, not in this life. Hope and pray for the best, and take the setbacks in stride, at least she is still with you! At her age, it is a miracle. We are always here to listen, and to pray with you! I wish I could be there to give you these hugs in person! Marji

Sissi, You cry your tears and get it out of your system and then go back to your "fight" mode! We all know that the Lord can heal anything and that if we believe and pray and it be His will that your Mom will get better. Sissi, we all think the world of you and we have all prayed for you, your family and your Mom. At her age, you will have have to prepare for the worst and hope and pray to the Lord for the Miracle that He can bring to your lives. I do know how you are hurting and how sad you are right now. Your heart is breaking but you will have to be strong for her. My Mom suffered so long and I was heartbroken when she left me but a calm peace also came to me knowing that she was no longer suffering and that she had gone home to wait on me to join her in her heavenly home. She was just 68. My Dad was only 58 and I was just 27 at the time. I was 44 when Mom left me. There is no easy way to get through any of this. You will just have to trust in the Lord and remember that He knows what is best for all. You have the the greatest prayer warriors right here with you everyday! We love you Sissi, and we think of you as part of our family. We will be there for you at anytime that you need to talk, cry , scream, or Pray; Prayer being the most important. The Heavenly Father will watch over your Mom and you and your family and He will look after all of you. Our Lord is a good Lord and you must believe that! Lots of hugs and alot of prayers are being sent your way, Linda

Still praying for your Mum's full recovery and sending you an Angel to watch over you both.
Please don't cry, it really solves nothing and will only make YOU sick.
You need to stay strong and keep your faith. Doctors will always disagree and the next one will probably tell you something different again.
Hugs n blessings, Meganne

Meg, The angel is beautiful and so are your words!!!!!!! I am also sitting here crying for Sissi and her Mom! I too know how hard it is for her to live through this again and again and not know what is going on. You are a wonderful cheering section! You also know the importance of prayer. Hugs
