Can anyone share what they use for their PALS to call them in the night? My husband has lost the use of his arms, hands and most of his fingers. He can no longer call loud enough for me to hear him. We were using a plug in doorbell. Now, he cannot push hard enough to make it ring. A monitor is out of the question because of the volume of his television (hence the reason I am in another room!). The dynavox alarm is out of the question because I have a school age, and it wakes him up. I glued an electrical plate cover on the button of the bell, and it will probably work for a few weeks. I can see him losing strength every day, though. It's just a matter of time before we are going to need something else. I cannot figure out how to rig it so that he can push it with his foot. I think that might be the solution if we are going to continue using the doorbell.
