Hi, Karen
unless you have a better crytal ball than I do, you're not going to know the optimal decision for your specific case, but it seems to me that you have made a very good decision with the information available to you. It is possible that we as caregivers and patients err in not taking the time to look at more options because we feel the clock ticking so very loudly.
I know that you take the path that you choose with courage and strength.
