Jackie, You might need to tell your Mom that it is imperative that you and or another family member be at all of these appointments. As her primary caregiver, you will need to stay on top of everything that is going on. Get that note book ready! You will want to write down terms and medical jargon to bring home to research, the names and ph # of all of her medical team, etc. I always took a calendar with day blocks large enough to write in to every appointment. I also had other important dates [family stuff] filled in. That way I knew a month or so ahead what our days were obligated to. One thing a caregiver needs to be is get very organized.I'm glad your Mom is there with you. Amy in the Ozarks
