They are an amazing group of people. I've never met a more compassionate bunch than all those involved in the project. I've missed almost all of the meetings, first due to the travel requirements of my job and lately because I work from home pretty much full time so I can care
for Liz. I'm the sole caregiver so I really don't get out at all anymore. I'm sure I've spent time home that I could have spent in the office but Liz gets very anxious now when I leave and she's got enough to deal with just getting through the day, she doesn't need any added stress. I've got lots of people at Pepsi who welcome me into their offices or call me up whenever I need to just blow off steam. I had a very difficult time dealing with all the stresses of caregiving for a long time, but I've settled into it. I still vent on occasion but nobody holds it against me and I think I'm in a better place now. We received a Hospice referral yesterday so there will be more help coming, but frankly I'm more worried about helping the kids get through this than I am dealing with the caregiving stuff. That has sort of leveled off into a routine finally. Actually there's just not much more that can be done other than to make her as comfortable as possible. As always before, we'll deal with whatever comes when it comes.
Thanks
