Bringing Peace to my Mother’s Sundowners Syndrome Alzheimer’s – by Pam Wethington
Pam Wethington’s Pangu Shengong (Pan Gu Mystical Qigong) testimonial discussing Alzheimer’s, Sundowners Syndrome and other conditions.
Back in July 2013 I was living in New Mexico and I went to see my mother in Cincinnati on her 90th Birthday. It was a wonderful visit she was happy and she still recognized me and told me that she loved me.
Around Christmas time in 2013 something told me that I needed to visit her again. By that time everything had changed. My mother did not recognize my brother or me and she didn’t even know that it was the Christmas season. I just thought that she was having a bad day. But a few days past and she wasn’t getting any better.
She was staying in a nursing home at the time and was suffering from severe Alzheimer’s disease. I found out that she was what they call a Sundowner. She would get agitated and terrified at night. At the nursing home she would sleep during the day and stay up all night and wander the hallways. At night time the nursing home never knew where she was and they just let her do anything that she wanted. She had black eyes. My heart broke thinking about her being terrified roaming the halls every night.
I quickly found a condo in Cincinnati and moved from New Mexico to take care of my mother. I got the condo cheap and it needed some fixing up to get it up to code and replaced all the windows so it would be safe for my mother. In the beginning it was very difficult. I was given some strong medicine for her to take but that just made the condition worse. She would just scream and bang on the walls terrified. Around 5pm she would start tearing at her clothes and throwing stuff. Every night we had to have all the lights on. She would be terrified of the dark and we would walk the hallways of the condo and parking garage together all night. In the morning we would sleep together. I just wanted to be there for her.
I remember the first time I gave my mother a Pangu Shengong healing. She sat there and held out her hands to receive the energy. When I was done she opened her eyes wide like saucers in amazement and she kept looking at her hands and at me. I told her “Mom, that is what we call Qi and it will make you feel better”. I would give her healings every day and also practice Pangu Shengong above my mother when she was sleeping. As the months went on she was becoming calmer and more at ease. I watched the Pangu energy slowly take hold. It was a gradual thing. It took about 3 months to get her out of that Sundowning. It was the most wonderful feeling to know she wasn’t afraid anymore. We eventually got to the point where at 11 o’clock at night my mother would say she was ready for bed. Every night I would tell her that I was her daughter and that I loved her but she never really said anything back. We would turn off the lights and it was pitch black in her room. I bought a monitor for her room that had night vision so I could watch her and make sure everything was alright. Her older memories seemed to be intact and I enjoyed watching her happily talk to herself. She would have conversations from her past talking to my dad and brother before she would fall asleep. Her being able to go to bed and be happy was a miracle.
Just before Thanksgiving 2014 when I was putting her to bed my mother patted my head and said “I love you, honey” and she was at peace. She passed away that night and it was only because of the Pangu Shengong that her passing was peaceful. My mom would have died a terrible death if I hadn’t been a Pangu Shengong teacher and healer. She would have been terrified every night.
Reflecting back it was the happiest and saddest time of my life. It was the most important thing I ever did to take care of her. I have never been a patient person in my life but she taught me patience. I was so patient with my mother and I was never upset or in a hurry. It was a real teaching experience for me.
