Talked with my sister tonight, Mother's so afraid of falling that she doesn't want to get up out of bed at all, which makes things very difficult for my sister.
fritz, now that i read my way through that hug fest and back...

there are many different hospice organizations around the country, some better than others, but by and large they all do a wonderful job, both monitoring care and advocating for the patient.

i mention this in particular because your sister's situation with your mother ought to be brought to their attention ASAP.  there are a variety of ways they can help with this, from a hoyer lift to a "kneelng" bed.  by all means, urge her to call, and should she demur, call for her.  neither should have to struggle with this insecurity.

while you all are praying for mothers, think of my mother as well.  she is in that least desirable of situations, not in her right mind and being warehoused in a less than stellar facility, the very thing she most feared.  i am powerless to affect the situation, legally and physically.  t wll be a relef when she passes... assuming i don't predecease her.

Fritz & Nellie & Jack,
I'm also praying for you and your Moms and families. No matter what, we have to just know that we all do the best we can.

You're all in my thoughts....
