Thanks so much for your reply - sorry it has taken so long to respond but the holidays have been hectic. It was a rough holiday to get through - but good in a few ways - my brother and I with our families ended up in Ohio for a weekend with my parents and I know my mom surely enjoyed that - also my mom made the trip to our house for Christmas with my kids. As rough as I know it was for her - I know she did it for my kids sake! It was hard during her stay to have to help and assist with things that we all take for granted - I was deeply saddened when they left as she cried endlessly as I know this was her last trip to my house. I do believe within the next week she will be into a wheelchair - I want my parents to ask for help very soon as we had a hard time getting her into bed in the middle of the night when she got up to go to the bathroom - they need some type of lift assistance...I think I might be going to stay as often as I can to help my father. I went to work yesterday and did really good, I only broke down twice and it was after I left work - people have got to think I am a blubbering idiot!
Please see tell me what type of communication device your father got and please explain the PEG?! How do you find out about all this? It is soo overwhelming to me! This is the most horrible disease that I could have every imagined!
