Prayers for a meeting tomorrow

Cottage Blessings has become, more than anything else, a place for me to make prayer requests! This is the season of my life right now, and I am so grateful for the kindness all of you have shown, particularly since my mother's stroke.

Would you please pray for my mother (and for me) as I get ready to go to a meeting at the rehabilitation facility tomorrow? My mother has been there about three weeks, and already it has been determined that she is not making sufficient progress in therapy. Without a certain amount of progress documented, Medicare will refuse to pay for any more treatment for her. She has other insurance policies, but they will not cover the kind of care she needs.

It's a sad situation on all fronts, and we would be so grateful for all your prayers.

The meeting went pretty much as expected, although the good news is that I am at least beginning to understand and accept the situation. Thank you so much for the prayers--you have all been so incredibly helpful these past few weeks!

Praying for you and your mother.

Of course, Alice.

We're already including your mom, you and your family in our nightly prayers during this difficult time, but I will add this special intention right now.

[Margaret Mary Myers]

I am up in the night to have tea for a cough, so when I get off of here I will pray for your mother and you and your meeting, and offer up my tiny discomfort for that intention.

God bless.

[Jennie C.]

Praying...

[Mare]

You most certainly have my prayers, dear Alice.

I'll be praying throughout the day for you and your mom, Alice. And I was thinking how good God is that this happened after your sojourn west!

I am praying my dear. I can only imagine how hard all of this is but I know our Lord is giving you strength and that our Lady is guiding you on this journey.

[Jeannine]

You can be assured of our prayers, Alice.

[Ann C.]

Why must there be so much pointless red tape?
So often, the "rules" just don't seem to be in the patient's best interest.

Dear Alice-- I'm praying for you all. May the love of family and friends wrap you like a beautiful blanket.

[Caroline]

Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Prayers for you and your mother.

[almamater]

May Our Lady's mantle surround you with peace and strength. Please be assured of my prayers.

[Kristen Laurence]

We are keeping all of your intentions in our daily prayers.

[Beck]

I will definitely pray for you and your mom.

[Rachel]

Praying. This is a ridiculous policy of medicare... the same thing happened to us with my MIL.
I do hope she improves soon.

[Beth]

Oh how sad. We'll be keeping you in our prayers.

Dear Alice,

I am so sorry that your mother is not progressing well :-( Even though she is still with you, I can imagine you must be suffering awful grief. This is indeed an autumn season for your family :-(

So often time and peace is what a lady needs to recover from such a blow. I wish your mother could get more of this.

Certainly you have had my prayers all through this and I shall continue to send them out with love.

[Helen (Mary Vitamin)]

I've remembered your mother in my breviary prayers almost every day. I will continue to pray for her recovery.

[MaryM]

Oh, Alice, I'm sorry to hear this. We have faced the same loss of coverage from Medicare for my mil and her therapies. Continuing to pray for all of you.

[Alicia]

How heart wrenching. I will pray for your mother and your family.

[aussieannie]

Just reading now and praying, Alice!

[Mary Ann]

I will pray. We have been through this twice with my husband's parents. It is very stressful and (I am sorry to say) the best interests of the patient are not always the number one priority of the staff.

[Leona]

Alice,

Prayers are being sent both from Ireland and from here. Gwen ( my mom will be at the library with Aislinn tomorrow and) will light candles for you all in Ireland. Dad is here and we will pray at Thanksgiving mass tomorrow. I was in Dad room just now and noticed his rosary beads under his pillow I will request aa extra decade for your Mom.

Hugs,

Leona

[Jane Ramsey]

I'm so sorry you are having to go through all this, Alice. Praying your mom will get the best possible care at every moment.

[Kimberlee]

Praying daily for your dear mother and all of you.

[Theresa ♥]

Hi Alice,

I am just checking back to see how the meeting went. You are all in my prayers.

[stef]

Alice, just read this. We continue to pray.
