Jeff's health has continued to deteriorate over the last few months. We were able to keep the VA from declaring him incompetent to handle finances, which was good, but that's about the only good thing so far. Still no diagnosis other than the depression and sleep apnea. The VA is going under the assumption that all of Jeff's cognitive issues stem from his depression and sleep apnea. While this should help in getting him approved for Aid and Attendance, it's not helping on getting the problems treated or reduced. He's been through several different anti-depressants, none of which have made much of a difference. He did have a procedure earlier this month that was supposed to ease the pain in his lower back. Unfortunately, he has not received as much relief as expected. Another procedure is scheduled for January 3rd and we are praying that the combination of the two procedures will reduce his pain.
The VA is currently reviewing the case. Please pray they make the correct decision with regards to the Aid and Attendance.
A few weeks ago we learned that the person we're renting our house from had received a call from her bank. She has a reverse mortgage and they told her one of three things had to happen. 1. She had to move back in. 2. She had to sell the property. 3. She had to turn the property over to the bank. Since we are not able to obtain financing at this time, we will have to move. Thankfully, we have found another house, but between the first month's rent, security deposit and moving costs, we'll need approximately $3000 to move in. Please join us in praying and trusting God to supply this need.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- Funds to move as close to January 1st as possible
- The VA to award Aid and Attendance
- Jeff's health
- sleep
- pain in lower back and knees
- stiffness in entire body
- continued headaches
- overall feeling not well
