Hi my wonderful brothers and sisters at the Prayer Wall this just came in!

I’d like to ask for a special prayer (or maybe quite a few) for me and my wife. Just between us for now. Maybe you can pass along later to your network of prayer members but for now, just us.

My wife suffers from a degenerative brain disease (they call it a “Parkinsonism” but has very little to do with Parkinson’s Disease) along with a spinal cord injury from a car accident 20 years ago. This was just diagnosed about eight years ago. Her current agitation level (especially directed at me being her primary caregiver) has reached almost an unmanageable stage. She is wheelchair bound and no longer has any use of her hands. She is totally dependent on others to eat, bath, use the bathroom, sit up and down or even roll over in bed. She also has progressive (very severe) struggles with paranoia, hallucinations, short term memory loss and chronic unrelenting pain. Sometimes I wonder how I can continue to care for her. She is often very aggressive and tries to hurt me emotionally because of her desperate conditions.

Please pray for us both. Ask God to guide me especially as I get upset and weary. I know God is with us and put us together. (T) came to my “rescue” fourteen years ago after my first wife left me which ultimately ended in a horribly hurtful very public divorce. (T) has been my closest friend and healing companion ever since. Which makes this struggle 100 times harder than anyone can imagine.

Thank you (D) for praying.
