The Battlefield and My Mother

 I'm trying not to worry about my mother because God doesn't want me to worry. She has one problem after another. First, her feet keep swelling. It has been almost a year since the surgery, and it's still swelling. Lately, her tongue has begun to bother her again. She has had a problem with acid for last three years, but recently, the acid has begun to put blisters on her tongue. It actually hurt for her to swallow. My mother does take acid medicine. In fact, I had to change her medicine three times this year. It hurts to see her in so much pain. I want her days to be peace. I can count on my fingers how many good days she has had in the last two months. For me, the worst part is her dementia. My mother use to be brave when she first started having different kinds of illness, but then she started losing her memory and becoming confuse. Now she's like a different person especially when she get ill from having acid reflux. She's angry and sometimes she won't take her medicine. I love her, and I want her to live to see her eighties. No one on my mother side of the family has ever reach that age. I pray God will once again heal my mother.
