Troub, my heart goes out to you & your family. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. HH is right. Make sure that your mother looks after herself. I've seen & heard of so many cases where the caregiver gets worn out & even ill. It happened with my husband & his mom. He didn't get sick, but his doctor told him that he had to cut back or his would suffer greatly. Hang in there, I know that nothing about these situations is easy.
