We are back from the trip to Dublin And London. Our niece helped with caregiving and I have no idea how we would have done it without her. Toileting is getting very hard. She can no longer stand while we de-pants her, so we now have one person lift and the other adjust clothing. This is probably the last international trip. It was pretty tiring to go thru the plane changes, long flights and luggage requirements. She can still swallow and breath off the vent. Her right hand is still ok. I think she can lift a pound or so. The eye gaze is ordered and I think the PEG will go in toward the end of October.
I am very happy we were able to the trip, but I am feeling less competent to care for her by myself. The bathroom transfers / dressing are almost impossible for me without help. I finished getting her pjs on while she was lying in bed the last time.
