"Therefore, pray for the remnant that still survives"  (2 Kings 19:4b).  When mama was diagnosed with early cognitive impairment we were told that she would not get better.  No one recovers from Alzheimer's.  Now instead of praying for her health and physical needs I needed to pray for her emotional well being.  But I didn't know what to pray for.  Do I pray for healing?  Do I pray specifically for mama's health - Lord please make her remember?  With God's guidance I learned that I could pray for all of the above and also work to maintain what remains.

One of the cargivers strategies listed in the book, "My Mom Has Alzheimer's", is to play games with your loved one that they may have enjoyed in the past, but don't attempt to teach a new game.  I tried to teach mama RummiKub, should have just played scrabble with her instead.  Lesson learned and many more to come I'm sure.

    1. Thanks Kim. I had bought her a couple of Bible story color books, a box of crayons and some color pencils. She hasn't done anything with them yet, but I like your idea of sitting down with her and together maybe color a few pages and sign our names. Thanks so much for your help. Love ya.

  2. It’s obvious some patients with HIV are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not cure it permanently. I have been with the virus for years until I was introduced by a  friend who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr James Herbal Mix Medicine.  I was cured of HIV/AIDS after the usage of strong herbal mix medicine Dr, James prepared for me. All thanks to  Dr James, for healing me. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and roots and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick.

I was Cured of HIV and my aunt and her husband were cured of Cancer by  the same Dr James who uses natural herbs and roots extracts to cure different kinds of illness. Even Dr James proved to the whole world countless times that natural herbs can cure all kinds of diseases, and he cured countless people using natural herbs. I know it is hard to believe but am a living testimony. He prepared the herbal mix medicine and sent it to me through SPEED POST COURIER  SERVICES and I took it as he instructed. MORNING AND EVENING FOR 15DAYS, 7days later after the usage of his herbal mix medicine, I went to the hospital to do a checkup, the results came out, and I was NEGATIVE.
