[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh. My BIL was deeply involved in caregiving for my mom (his MIL) during many years when she lived with him and my sister and had a long string of medical issues--starting with knee surgery and moving along through TIA's, hip fracture, ruptured small intestine/ileostomy bag, 4 years of dialysis, Hoyer lift and hospital bed the final 5 years. His parents were kinda chilly and remote, there were 15 years between him and his next older sibling, and he always felt more like he was part of my sister's family than his own. I do think that if you can't count on your spouse to be able to bathe you and wipe you if/when it comes to that, you don't have a spouse. [/quote] Do you supplement your sister and bil? [/quote] I'm curious to know this, too. Since BIL took such good care of your mom will you now allow your sister and your BIL to move in with you when their health goes seriously downhill?[/quote]
