Recap & Snippets of Vicki’s recent past…
-Still terribly shaky – tremors are out of control… hard to say which is worse, her tremors or her depression (she's maxed out on her depressions meds).
-She spent Xmas all alone in her little rat trap of a house (harsh, but true) not because we didn’t offer to have her here, she just didn’t want to “interfere” with our day??!!
-Continues to live in the sickest, most disgusting squalor you can fathom… bugs are back w/ a vengeance this time, scum landlord won’t do a damn thing for her. She didn't have water for one entire week during our recent freeze.
-Turned down for food stamps – apparently one needs to make less than $10/yr!?!
-Turned down for Medicaid???
-Continues with no health insurance yet needs extensive medical care
-I found her daughter on FB, but she is unwilling/unable to help her out in any way?!
-Her regular Dr. (a saint, which will see her for $40/visit) referred her to a neurologist & a MRI. I took her to the Neurologist yesterday and he fortunately told her she doesn’t have MS, but because her current tremor meds give her terrible, staggering side effects, he has “no idea” what to do w/ her and is pawning her off on Emory for trial tests… in my novice opinion, Emory = MONEY! Money that she doesn’t have.
-Walmart insisted she take a medical leave of absence, but until there is a diagnosis from the Emory Dr, no one will officially declare her disabled, so she had Z E R O income. Walmart won’t let her come back ‘til there is a release and she can’t get the release NOR the ‘disabled’ label ‘til she goes to Emory.
-When home, which she is full-time now, she sits within the 4 walls of her “house” with ABSOULTELY nothing to entertain herself with. No TV, no radio, no music, NOTHING. IF you know of someone who could hook something up for her (Tony has tried already and couldn’t), please let me know.
-2 mos. late on car pymnt - probably just a matter of time 'til it gets repossessed.
-Please pray for God to work miracles in her life.

Jodi, this poor woman needs Jesus! You've obviously shared your faith with her, but has she surrendered to Him yet? Maybe even if she says she has, her heart may not be moved. Her problem lies in the spiritual more than the physical. I'm thinking there isn't even a battle going on, the enemy has most certainly taken over - she is the one who needs to call on the name of Jesus. Maybe she's dealing with unforgiveness too - something must have happened between her and her daughter. Her healing and answers lie in Jesus alone - that's obvious. Only the enemy could affect such turmoil and nonresponsiveness from everyone. I'm praying for her! and thank God He's trying to reach her through you.
Kelly - within the past 5 mos. she joined a local Baptist church and was baptized.
