[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need an aid if family can stop by for an hour or so. [/quote] The patient has a TBI. The family tries to be present for 9-12 hours/day and someone usually is. But clearly they need a break - the stress is really overwhelming that at the moment - and we are trying to figure out some options. [/quote] So it’s not your family? The family needs to just divide up the hours needed. That’s what we did. [/quote] NP- it's not that easy to visit a hospital every day even for a few "divided" hours. It takes so much out of you. You know you need to go over there. You need carved out the time, park, visit, chase down staff, find things out. And so much is neglected at home. It's why they have Ronald McDonald houses and things like that. It's really really difficult. [/quote]
