I am caregiver to my Husband Kris, so haven't actually been through this myself. I will say it is a rough ride, but doable. I'm sure Christine and others will be along soon to give you advice. In the meantime read as many posts as you can on here. I found them invaluable when we went through this journey. You will get through this. Tammy
