Please Continue Prayers for Maria & Her Family

Hi, Bridge Pointe. I need your prayers. So this is the update on my situation. Taking care of my mom since I went back to work full time has been really hard. At first, I was repeatedly late getting to work. I’ve had to call out because of being too exhausted to work or being in pain myself three times. I know that it’s God’s grace and mercy that I still working.I’m lucky if I get 3 hours of sleep a day. Work 3rd shift, I’ve done it before, I must sleep during the day and get at least 4 hours. So, I’ve also been falling asleep at work. I feel like I’m skating on thin ice with heated skates.It’s also not good for my mom. I’m exhausted, she’s not getting the best care. She needs assisted living. She and my dad told us kids before either of them were sick to not put them in a nursing home. I don’t want to either. Her past experience in so-called rehab at Harborview (which is also a nursing home) was horrible.Pray for resources to fund her move to great assisted living home with a staff who cares about their residents, resources to fund monthly fees and any other necessary expenses.Please pray also for a safe, afforable place for me since I’ll have to move too. Third, please pray for a successful talk with my brother. He hasn’t officially moved out. He has to take all of his stuff to Macon. I hope he will still visit our mom and bring his son with him sometimes. I hope Eljean Castro (my brother’s girlfriend) and her sister Elvie visit my mom too.
