Re: These past few days....
Sorry everyone, this has been a tough 10 days or so. I have elderly parents that live nearby and Dad has a pretty good case of Alzheimer's while mother has been spending 5 of the past 10 days in the E.R. or the hospital. As she is the primary care giver for my father, the task falls to me when she is sick - and he is a handful. Between caring for him, and going back and forth the the hospital and answering relative's calls and the like, there are not enough hours in the day. So I apologize as I have not been able to properly respond to forum posts, emails and Private Messages in my normal manner. Hopefully this will get back to normal soon and I will get to them as I can. Thanks for your patience!

Re: These past few days....
As far as I know, I am all caught up now on emails and pm's and forum questions. If there is someone's question I have missed at this point, kindly re-submit!

Caring for aging parents is harder than anyone imagines.
If your relatives use computers, posting to a CaringBridge site about someone who is hospitalized can make communication updates a lot more efficient for you. A friend is doing that for her husband who has serious, long-term health issues and it has been very effective for them and for those of us who care about them.
