Hey I am so tired I could just faint. I haven’t felt good but life is getting harder. Mom and Dad have dementia and they are both going down hill at the same time. I have to even remind them at regular times to go […]
Hey it has been a very hard week. I have been having chest pains and almost passing out. I had to have a CT of my heart on Friday. When I am in there getting it, my dad doesn’t like when other people have things […]
Hello everyone. The last time I had a second to talk I talked about my uncle and his lack of help. I completely appreciate the suggestions. However they have not worked to this point. I hope that it does soon. I […]
I am so upset. My uncle has a completely perfect house that was my grandma’s and he is not even willing to try and help us to get it. Our trailer house is falling apart. It is almost forty years old. Trailers are […]

ejourney,
Thank you so much for posting this. My nephew has autism. He is newly diagnosed and it is a struggle to know what to do. Do you have any websites that would help me have a clue how to help. I […]
I am sure sorry u dont feel good. I makes it more hard to take care of anyone if u dont feel good. Welts are not fun. I have had my fair share of them. Take care of yourself. Thinking of you and your.
Hey everyone, how are you all? It seems like I haven’t been in here for a long time. My life has been absolutely crazy. I have been having health problems of my own. I have been having problems with my eyes. They […]
It is so weird to have to take care of yourself. As caregivers we don’t think that we need to go to get our labs or exams. I had labs done a couple of weeks and they called on Saturday. That was so weird. They […]

Betty,
I can completely understand the heartache when our loved ones go down hill further. My mom and dad for some reason right now are having a decline in memory and dementia. They are much more clingy and […]
Hey everyone, hope that you are having a good day. My daddy continues to go down hill. The doctors said that if he used the compression socks that he would stop passing out. NOT. He continues to have terrible […]
(Editor’s Note: This morning, Amy received the $500 we raised to help her.)
I don’t know how to thank all of you. This is a god sent. We have been so stressed lately that my parents’ health is deteriating. We […]
Just a quick update. Nothing is better and things are worse. We just got a letter of eviction this morning. I wonder what I can do that will mean anything. Please pray for me and my family.
We are having a very hard time right now. We have so many medical bills but no money to pay for them. I wish that I had time to work but with Dad and Mom getting worse. I wish that we could get Medicaid so the […]

Hey everyone, everything is the same here. I am having to do everything for Mom and Dad. If I am not at home, they will not eat or even go to restroom. So it is getting increasingly harder to go to lunch with […]
I wonder how this year will be. I hope that I have the same health so that I continue to keep up. However so far in the three days of this year, it has been terrible.
My mother is not doing well. Like I have […]
