Caring for my mom Member since August 25, 2009Hi, I'm Sandy and I am a caregiver for my Mother who has a blockage in the valve of her heart and 2 anurisms that are very large and inoperable. She will be 90 in Oct. I have a full time job that I have taken a family leave from and I'm not sure what will happen at the end of my 12 weeks. I only have 4 1/2 weeks left from today. I am able to retire but cannot financially afford to do so. It is very difficult to see my Mom in this shape and know on the other hand that I should be at work. I love her very much and the work is very secondary at this point. She is the main concern of both my husband and myself. We chose for her to come live with us instead of being placed in a nursing home or hospice. We have inhome hospice at this time. They are really good people and very helpful. The Lord will see that we make it through ok and that Mom is taken care of both here and in heaven.
