Being a caregiver is not an easy job. To me, they are angels! Please dont forget to be good to yourself thru this too. Take a couple minutes everyday just for you. Even if it is just to walk around the block or a long hot shower to relax. Im a firm believer that it takes not just the best medical care, an optimistic attitude and a great caregiver to get thru this. Please check in from time to time or or course anytime you have any questions. We are here for you both.
Best wishes!
