[__ Prayer __] Please help! Mama 44 with brain damage.

[snow4fun]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this.

Hello,

My Mama got acquired brain damage from Benzodiazepines taper. She has been suffering from Vision problems and memory loss for the past seven years. We have gone to countless doctors to try and get the proper diagnosis. The biggest problem right now is the vision and confusion. Her vision makes the light too bright and the shadows too vivid. We've tried many different pairs of sunglasses and they only seem to make it worse. We are trying to change the lights in our house because the ones that we currently have makes her feel worse. It has to do with the tenting. I really would appreciate any information someone would have that could possibly help us. Maybe some special type of glasses or lighting. Either post here or PM me. Thanks! They say she has possible Alzheimer, possible Parkinson's, and possible frontaltemporal dementia.

We need as much prayer as possible. This is so very hard on her.

Thank you so much for reading, please feel free to pm me if you know anything about some lights or have some encouraging scripture,
Joshua

So sorry about your Mom. Can't help with the vision thing, but one question, has there been any effect on Mom psychologically?

Your Mom and your family are in my prayers, snow4fun

I had a link on here that explained it a bit more. It was part of our gofundme though and was against forum rules. We are going to the UVA memory clinic Tuesday. She says she doesn't know who she is, or who I am, and her surroundings. The PET scan done by MCV hospital shows damage in all parts of the brain. It is very scary.

OK, thanks for the link. I only ask because I also deal with a brain injury (auto accident) and hoped something in my experience could be helpful. Your Mom and you are in my prayers, of course.

One thing about brain injuries is that you can lose things you never knew you had. I'm guessing you understand this statement all too well.

Hi and welcome dear Sister snow4fun. Just from a technical point of view I would think there may be dimmable lamps or switching available to fit your mother's need even as her vision changes. I will certainly pray for her in Jesus' name.

Praying. Benzodiazepines can be horrible for some people, and the tapers can cause all kinds of problems. I pray thinigs get better.
