My mom has been declining quickly in the last few months. Recently she's been unable to walk from her bedroom to the bathroom across the hall so we transport her in a chair. She's already started hospice which has been a great help. I have an awful feeling that the end is near. She's been...
Today has been a rough day, the last 2 days he has only been able to want 1.5 cans of milk. That's only 12 oz all day. He refuses any more. He has been coughing a lot today, refuses couch assist. He has mostly slept all day to the point where I would stare at him making sure he is breathing. He...

We're having a serious problem. Jay is on a Medicare Advantage plan. An attorney was recommended to us through the als association in our state. Supposedly this attorney can get Jay on Medicaid even though we are over the limit. And the cost to do that is close to $10,000.00. Jay has a...
