[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have other children?  If so, take the other children and shower them with attention.

If you make a "gift a day" basket (basket with dollar store games to play in bed, etc.,), make one for the other child, too.

This will alleviate the guilt and anxiety that the mom is feeling about the rest of her family.

Offer to do her grocery shopping for her.  Take whatever comfort food you know she likes that is microwavable only and leave it on a cooler on the front steps.  Offer to do her laundry.

Just brainstorms - I am so sorry she is going through this and I know that it is hard to watch, too.  Prayers to you all[/quote]

These are great suggestions.

Chores will pile up so jump in.  Offer to take the other kids out with your kids on weekends or for a few hours to the movies, etc.  Also, start a fund for her parking at the hospital if you can on Paypal and ask people to contribute.  It gets really expensive and is something people don't think about.  If they are federal employees, see if you can do leave donation for them.
