[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have any respite care? How much is your parent capable of doing? My kids are in elementary school, are involved in many activities, and we are on the go a lot. Parent is 80 and in failing health.[/quote]

No respite care, at the moment he can stand up and shuffle to bed chair with walker, then do same to get into wheelchair and same to get into living room chair that is one of those that can lay flat and can push him almost up to a standing position.  DH and DC are doing other things around the edges.  Hospice comes in twice a week for a sponge bath and a nurse stops buy once a week.  The SW comes about every other week.  In September, He started out being quite independent and we shuffle to all of his doctors appoints, surgeries and 6 weeks of daily radiation.....  He is 84 and I don't know if he will last the month.   For DC, DH is taking up some of the slack and we have car pools if need be.  We solve each thing as it comes up, you can figure it all out at once.  Just address each thing one at a time and chip away.
