Hi Sisters and Brothers please pray for My mom Ms Ophelia Billups she is 82 a breast cancer survivor but has chronic side effects and now has a severe condition called Achasia ( means she cant swallow food ) a rare condition and can only eat soft foods. She is Malnourished and can’t get the nutrients to gain weight she hovers between 98-105 lbs. She’s done the ensure, smoothies, soups etc it’s sustaining but not enoughAs of right now she has 3 options:1. Noni invasive Botox procedureDone ( Dec 23-24) only temporary relief2. Tubular insurt – wear a bag to eat3. POEM surgery – most effective BUT risky due to her age pre existing condition. Would also mean liquid diet 2-3 week recovery so no solid food. And she’s a fearful due to anesthesia aspect tooMy Older Brother and I have a complicated relationship re our mom sorry to say, but it is what it is, But I’m doing my best to connect w him, but my mother is now wanting me to step in ans speak up at her Doc Consult this Wed. My brother will be there also.Please pray us Trust in God , His will and peace with what the decision needs to be about this surgery for all involved.Another sensitive subject is my Moms willingness to show me her life insurance papers so I can know what she wants. And what to do IF it comes to that.Lastly please pray for me my eyesight is going so I need to afford to pay out of pocket for both an eye exam and a new pair of glasses hopefully before the end of April 2026 Thank you
