I get up before Adam every morning so i can cook him breakfast and pack his lunch before he leaves for work. I usually go back to sleep when he leaves. Today I felt like I needed to call my momma instead.I call pretty often to check on her, she is suffering from Alzheimer's among and possibly dementia and Daddy and the boys are working out of state. I callled and got no answer....waited and called again..... still no answer. This continued until around noon. Finally around noon my younger sister, Katie, called. Katie said Momma has not been taking her medicine and things have gotten pretty bad. Momma had been in there room for a few days and would not let anyone else in. She then told me that they were almost out of food as Momma had not been to the grocery in quite a while. None of the girls knew where the grocery money was and none of them have been allowed to get a drivers license.
I called Adam completely hysterical and he calmed me down. He then came home and we headed straight to their house. We arrived and 6 pm and took Katie and Charlotte to the grocery. I made the girls a nice dinner and they were able to calm down. We will be staying here until at least Sunday. I'm just so worried about what will happen once we go back home......we NEED prayer.
Your sisters need to get driver's licenses. Your mother needs to be connected with some social services in her community. Dementia doesn't get better, she will need more help as time goes on. How old is she? I'm guessing she's fairly young since you are only 19. It's very hard to watch a beloved parent becoming more and more unable to function so you all need some support.
