[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've read most of the responses. I'm sorry that your husband is sick and the future is so uncertain. My first reaction is that your husband's sibling probably doesn't realize the extent of the illness. Maybe the sibling doesn't understand why you are all living with grandparents at all. Has sibling visited your husband? They may not really understand how fragile the health situation is.

I think you need to extricate yourself from the planning. This is for your husband, his parents, and his sibling to figure out. Not for you to figure out. If husband can not be involved in decisionmaking, then his parents need to tell sibling that, and they need to work out a plan for their two families (without you). Based on what they decide, you can determine what your own family's course of action should be.[/quote]

Sibling knows he was hospitalized for a couple months.  They didn't visit because they didn't want to leave their nursing infant, which is of course totally understandable. Since the hospital, they've seen DH twice, both times he lasted an hour or two and then we left.

We aren't just living there due to DH's illness.  We initially moved in to provide elder care during the pandemic.  DH's illness is one factor in why we've stayed.

DH is significantly cognitively impaired right now.  He is not up for planning family events.  [/quote]
