"Yoj" wrote in message hlink.net...
I had a talk with BlueBird this afternoon. She is still having all the health problems, and seldom has the energy to get to the computer any more. LittleBit doesn't have much of an appetite. However, there is good news. In spite of the appetite problem, and the fact that she weighs only 6 pounds, LittleBit seems to be doing quite well. Also, BlueBird has a friend who is hoping to move in with her, so she won't have to move to be cared for. There is some red tape involved, but they were able to take care of that, which they didn't think would be possible. There are some complications. The friend is 36 years old and still lives with a very controlling mother. She has some debts she needs to pay off, and since her mother controls the finances, this is difficult. However, she is making progress, and is also becoming more assertive. Obviously, I don't know the whole story, but BlueBird has asked for prayers and purrs that this works out, if it is meant to be. She says the Alzheimer's is getting worse, so she really needs this. Joy I sure hope things work out for Bluebird and LittleBit. It's doubly hard on someone like her because all the red tape associated with programs to help the elderly is complicated and full of pitholes. It's hard for a younger person unencumbered by health problems to deal with, much less a person in her situation. Hopefully her friend can move in with her and the result can be a "win-win" situation.

However, I will change the word "elderly" in your message to "disabled". Although she has been on disability for several years because of her health problems, BlueBird just turned 60 recently. Since I'm 68, I don't consider 60 to be "elderly", and I suspect she doesn't either. :-) Joy

I remember reading some posts about her difficulties in the past and now that I think about it I don't know if any of them indicated her age. I made the incorrect assumption that she was elderly because so many aspects of her circumstancees sounded like those in which persons significantly older than her all too often face. Of course, as her situation demonstrates, an adult at any age could be confronted with the same problems. I really hope things work out for her.

I have collected them, and will be sending them to her today. -- Joy Life is what happens to you while you are planning to do something else. "Ginger-lyn Summer" wrote in message ...
