[quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you, OP. I sensed it was a stroke. That must have been so scary and this uphill battle through recovery will be hard. You hve gotten some good advice here. Please don't hesitate to take some of this advice. It doesn't matter at all that your wife had only been at the school a year or that you're new in town. Our first year at a new preschool, a mother was going through cancer treatments. I didn't know her at all but when the emails went out asking for help with filling a meal calendar for the family, everyone pitched in. I hosted her daughter for a play date with a few other kids and he never met the mother (and the child was even in a different class). I'm not a saint. I'm just not an asshole. I'd like to think most people in your community are the same. We also had a new neighbor fall ill just after having a baby. They had been in the house only a few months and everyone helped out where they could (other parents walked her older kids to and from the bus stop and things like that).

I think what you need is to ask someone you feel comfortable with to assist with organizing help. In the situations I mentioned, it was another neighbor or a room parent that sent a mass email to solicit help. Talk to someone at your wife's school, either a room parent or someone in administration to see if they can help coordinate for you.
