Need some prayers-

Okay,
I am asking everyone who knows me or knows my family, to send up as many prayers as they can for my Mom and for myself. While she was here for Valentine's Day, we had a good discussion about filling for disability. It is time. She is beyond exhausted and sick a lot. She has to take many, many medications to just survive or get out of bed sometimes. She cannot physically or mentally work enough to afford her prescriptions every month. Even with good insurance, her meds are OUTRAGEOUS. This has been coming for sometime, so we are just going to buckle down and get 'er done. (so to speak)
Filling for disability is a long, lengthy and grueling process in the State of Oregon at the moment. I feel very lost and a bit stressed because she is depending on me. This alone, is tough for me on so many levels. I am a 100% dedicated to helping her, so I know I can do this.
Not too long ago I was filling things for my Dad and fighting almost every day with bill collectors, SSI and the VA. His stuff all came through, (thank you Jesus) but I know that my Mom's case if different and more complicated.
Mom has in the past made huge leaps and bounds in her recovery from the aneurysm. She had to re-learn SOOOO much...it was amazing to watch her.
However, we were told that she would start regressing at some point. It has been both difficult and heartbreaking to watch this begin to happen. It has even been very frustrating/aggravating at times-
It is no secret that we have had some major strains in our past and in our relationship as Mother and Daughter, but I have always been able to set all that aside and help her when needed. This is most definitely one of the most important things that she needs to survive and I will go down fighting for it with all I have.
So, please, please ask God to help me know what to do and when to do it. Please ask God to be with my Mom as this process starts and to help her know that she is never alone. I want to help her with this burden and come out of it with flying colors-
Please pray for her doctors and social workers as they sort through her info/medical history and decide/recommend what they think is best for her.
~Thanks Much and God Bless~
