Advice to help with sleepless nights

[anne]

Hi Cindy...thanks for the website....they certainly have lots of products. I have looked and looked, would you happen to know what it is called or in what section I would be able to find it.

Thanks, Anne

Hi Anne. You could cut the side out of a laundry basket or large bin and put it over her feet and the covers over that. I use the bar and legs from a table that was advertized on TV a while back. The legs are adjustable and slide under the mattress and we took the table top off. The blankets hang over the top and keep me warm while not restricting foot movement.

It's called a "foot tent."

HI Anne,

I have thought about you often, wondering how you were. I'm so sorry to hear your SIL has ALS - I didn't remember you mentioning that before. My mom passed away from ALS one year ago Oct 23rd, our moms had somewhat the same progression. I am now volunteering for our local ALS association - doing what I can in my small way to help find a cure for this horrible disease. We just had our "Walk to D'Feat ALS" and raised quite a large amount of money (I don't have the exact total yet).

I know your mom is in your thoughts daily, and to see your SIL suffer with this disease, has to be hard emotionally. Take care!
