You have no idea how many times I have sat at this computer to try to put into words what our family is going thru. My dad has been diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy Body. We got the official diagnosis on July 1.
Basically it is like having a form of Alzheimers and Parkensons all mixed up as one. There are not many medications for this - most just make the symptoms worse.
It has been a foundation shaking kind of two weeks. He is not going to get better - he is getting worse. He is confused most of the time - his physical body is getting weaker. Mom is like a rock - her faith in Who God is and that HE will do what HE has promised - absolutely amazing to be around and watch.
We are having some good moments. Dad is no longer stressed about the things that usually stress him. He laughs alot - alot! His stomach, for the most part, does not bother him to much right now - probably due to the lack of stress. Things will never be the same..
We are praying for healing, but God seems to be silent. We are claiming His promise of grace and mercy in our time of need. HE is responding.
Pray for our family.
