Thank you all for your prayers and support. I'm grateful to God for His blessings. At the moment things are moving along in a positive direction, and that's all I can hope for. One day at a time.

Praying for a positive outcomes for all. Mental health issues are one of the worst sicknesses to befall mankind.
Please renew your prayers for this situation, as we have come to a watershed moment. I think I might have found an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) that will take my brother, as the hospital is ready to discharge him. By God's good grace, my brother's demeanor has been stabilized through prescribed medication and I have a doctor's directive for supervised ALF with memory care. That's a big deal, as it allows the facility the ability to get SS Disability, Medicaid and the VA (they have been no help at all) to cover the costs.
It's now time to break the news to my mother. My two other brothers are able to fly down today, my flight got cancelled at the last minute, so they are going to handle the visit to the ALF, hospital, etc. I'm going to video chat with them tomorrow when they're able to sit down with mom. God's will be done, and it is amazing.

I am happy that your brother is doing better. I am praying that the ALF will be a good fit for your brother and the facility. Please keep us informed....Paul

I ask Lord that You pull all the pieces together for Pine Baron's brother's care. You know and have control of all those details. Thank you for providing the care that is available.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
May GOD shed his grace on you all
Continuing in prayer for your brother and the family . And like Paul said..keep us up on the progress of your brother . Sorry you missed the chance to join your brothers and mother but glad you can sill video call .
No turning back , No turning back !
15 August update on my brother. After a few set backs, today is the day my brother gets moved to his assisted living facility. I can't be there, but God sent an angel (mutual friend) to help with moving him. Prayers requested that all goes well and God's will be done.
Next up...getting SS Disability and Medicaid Long Term Care.
Again I can't emphasize how disappointed I am with the VA, however, we're not done with them yet.

I was a case manager for a Navy vet with a traumatic brain injury, and I know first-hand how difficult it can be to get the VA to admit the obvious. Praying for your brother, and the whole family.

Very sorry to hear this, for your brother, you and your family. Alzheimers, is likely my greatest fear......so unfair/painful for the victim and family! memtb

“LETS GO BRANDON”
August 25 update;
I'm flying down to Florida today, finally. Plan is to go see my mother, get some chores done for her.
Get to my brothers empty house and retrieve his wallet (I.D., etc.) his cell phone, and determine the condition of the house.
Go visit the Assisted Living Facility to see my brother, and sit down with them to see if we can get the Social Security Disability process started.
As far as the VA is concerned, my brother was supposed to see them yesterday, at a local clinic, well that got put off until Sept 13. What a shocker.
Please pray that God show me His path and the Holy Spirit guide me to patience and perseverance. Always in Jesus name. Amen.
Note; I may be "out of pocket" for a few days. So forgive me if I don't keep up with the daily "For Thought and Meditation".

Still praying for everyone involved and will continue .

Dementia is a horrible disease, and it wears on the whole family like nothing else I know of. God bless you all PB. It's times like these that makes our Lord our best friend.
An update on this. I'm flying down to FL again to try and get something done, as we are at a dead end with POA, Medicaid LTC, the VA, etc. Good news is my brother is settled in, at the ALF, and being transported to his VA appointments.
Without "Conservertorship" I can get no information as to diagnosis or treatment options. I have found an elder care attorney and am currently engaged with them for assistance. Hopefully this isn't another dead end.
My youngest daughter will be accompanying me on this go around, and that's a good thing. It's always better to have a "partner" for back up, in addition to getting to see her Grandma. So that's blessing enough, right there.
Please continue prayers that God guides me to His will.

Dear Lord, may your will be done for Pines brother this very day.
