Mom Fell This Morning

Oh my, Oh my, what more can happen. I am so very sorry for your mom, you and the family. That is just horrible, your poor mom. This time she will have to go in a nursing facility for rehab to help get her back on her feet. This time you will be able to get tough, and say she has to be better able to get around before she comes home. I am so sorry, I have been keeping up with what has been going on, it does keep getting worse. How far do you have to travel to the hospital? How is your dad holding up, this has to be really tough on him too. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, take care.

Oh no! That's terrible. My prayers will be with your mom...and of course you to cope with it all (((hugs))))

Well she finally did get to the hospital after all. I still think you should have called 911 long ago. Anyhow....My dad has fallen a few times this year alone and luckily nothing broken yet. Excpet for a plastic milk crate he used as a book shelf, and the wooden newspaper rack. Glad ya got some financial help anyhow. With gas prices that's a lot of help for your trip(s) etc. take care and God Bless and keep you and all the family in His loving and caring arms. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I hope your mom is ok, I will say a prayer for her and I wish her a full and speedy recovery.

I am so sorry to hear that your mother has fallen. I remember reading yesterday that you were trying to get her to go to the hospital to get her side checked out. I hope that her hip is not broken and that there are no serious damages. I am also happy that your brother's were able to help out. I will keep you and you family in my prayers. God bless you.

Oh I am so sorry, I hope that she will be Ok, thoughts are with you as they always are. Is this to do with her being dizzy all the time? I am glad that your brothers have helped out, it is how it should be in families all coming together and being there for each other xx

My, you just keep being put through it. Hopefully they find out what is wrong. Hopefully they will keep her a little while and try to get her stronger. Just keep reminding her not to give up. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad that your brothers have helped a little. Maybe some weekend, if she goes home, they can come and give you a break.

Sweetie I am so sorry this has happened and I will keep you all in my thoughts Big Hugs to you

All the best to your mother. This happened to both of my grandparents so I have been through it before, and it's not pleasant to sit by and watch someoe you love suffer that way.

Hope all is well.

my dear catsanddogs, I am new here, but read your earlier post and gathered that you have INDEED been through "hell in a handbasket". I can look at this from the long view... not being on top of things as you are... and I see that God has been very gracious to you even in the midst of your trials. Your father and your brothers have lifted some of the load that you might have had to carry had God not prompted them to do their part! Your mother is now receiving much-needed physical care (even though it has cost her something.) Please actively count your daily blessings. I am living with cancer and I find that the more consciously thankful I am, the more blessed I become. God can, and will, actually put a smile on your lips in the midst of the most horrific scenario once you more readily turn your thoughts to him. I once heard it expressed that God only allows us a cross to carry so we can turn it over to him! He wants to be our burden bearer. He soooo wants to bless his children, but it is for us to seek that blessing. Isn't there a scripture that speaks of taking our burdens to him. If I find it, I'll pass it on. I wish you and your family the very best God has for you. Your mother will no doubt have to spend time in a nursing home for rehab. I hope it isn't too far for you and your father to drive each day. Perhaps you can take turns going in to visit her. But... first things first. May God bless you.

It seems to me that your Mom needs to be in a care facility. You can't be expected to keep this level of care up to her, not physically or financially. You cannot be the only people in this situation; what happens when the elderly cannot pay for their medical and care needs? Surely there is some government assistance available??

it is always so difficult when we are the one in the middle within the sandwich generation. our parents are getting older and need our care while we still have kids at home. i hope that everything works out well for your family and especially your mother. thoughts are with you.

It's such worrying when we hear that our own father or mother facing certain incidents. Hope you mother getting well soon. At least you are at your mother's side to take care of her, I'm sure with you care, she will be fine very soon.

Wow - I hope she heals well and doesn't continue to try to do things without asking for help. My father was stubborn and refused to obey doctor's orders to not try to go outside alone - didn't think anyone had the right to tell him what to do. Two days later, he fractured his skull and lay in 20 degree temps for approximately 3 hours before my mother found him. He never fully recovered. Mom hasn't fallen and is really good about using her walker, but I do worry because she does occasionally do things she shouldn't without telling someone she's about to. Once she tried to put up the kitchen curtains using the step stool and other times she's gone outside alone to toss bread to the birds, even though she had no walker or cane with her. Mom will be 92 in December, is visually impaired and has emphysema. I worry about her a lot. Fortunately, her visits to the hospital have been for other things. I think she'd give up if she was immobilized - she can't stand being limited as it is. Assuming she's elderly (Medicare age), see if your state has any programs to help you help her. Ours does and it's been a great aid! Good luck! You and your mother are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your mother's mishap, seems like when it rains it pours, huh? Hope she has a speedy recovery, and you and your family ill definitely be in my prayers. It is good to hear that your brothers came through in your times of needs. Lots of families members would come up with some silly reasons when they are asked for help. God Bless

I am sorry to hear about your mom. Take good care of yourself in the meantime...you can't care for someone properly if you don't take of yourself first. Best of luck and speedy healing.
