Rita, sometimes words just fail to encompass the depth of the tragedies that befall some families, but aim for that light at the end of the tunnel when your love for each other will help conquer this disease and you will find much brighter days ahead. I am very glad for you that you are living with your daughter and doctor husband right now, providing some support and guidance as you travel this road. And besides, the friendly people here in the OCF forum are ALWAYS here for you to vent as we've battled this disease too, AND have worn your caretaker shoes. Keep us informed, ok?
Hugs, JaneP
