things can't possibly get worse. My mother is now sick with a respiratory or sinus infection. She's on antibiotics but last year she took so many for pneumonia and other respiratory issues she developed c-diff FIVE times and was hospitalized for a long time.
She has refused to get help in here and as soon as my aunt and I arrived, she dropped. Now my aunt has a cold and I have a sore throat. It was hard enough to care for my father, now we have to quarantine my mother, make her take meds, eat and drink and keep Lysoling and bleaching everything.
Tomorrow I have to call a service about getting an aide in here for more than a few hours. Even once she she feels better she can't do this anymore. My aunt and I went down after two days of no sleep, not eating right and constant stress and anxiety.
Both her and my father are so stubborn it adds to the challenge. My mother is crying because she can't be near him, especially now as things are progressing but we can't risk him getting pneumonia. What to do. What to do.
