[quote=Anonymous]OP, thank you for your update above. I posted early on and wondered what was going on. Please feel confident in your choices for your husband's care. It's sad and selfish that your in-laws wanted to put their visits ahead of his getting specialized care. They probably meant well, and felt that it was good for his health if they could visit him, but you did the right thing entirely to focus just on getting him the best possible care. Is the lawyer there to represent him against the in-laws somehow? Were they threatening some kind of legal maneuvers to force you to place your husband at the  hospital closer to them? I hope it did not take that turn. You were smart to hire an attorney. It sounds as if they are very, very interfering but as his spouse you have every right to be in charge of the decisions about his care.

OP, do you have someone -- not one of the ILs!  -- whom you trust to look after your husband enough for you to spend some time outside the house for your own sanity? Caregiving is very, very stressful on the caregiver. Please ensure you're taking care of yourself so you have the energy to take care of him the rest of the time. If you are not already using a home-care service, see if you can contract with one for only a few times a week (if your husband would be comfortable with that). Insurance sometimes will cover it -- it's worth checking, at least.
