Janet, you are right to not bring her to your house in this state - it is too much and she really needs some skilled nursing care. If you had a wonderfully supportive family at home that would take care of everything at your home, and you didn't have to work, then you might be able to handle it, but it would be very hard. I'm not sure home health will be enough right now. If they find the source of the bleeding, then yes, but now with what is happening, she needs pretty intense care.

You're going through a very rough situation but only you know whats best for your mom. She needs professional assistance, someone who is train to handle her well being. I also used to work in a home health facility where they would send a nurse and aid to seniors homes. That might be ideal if she doesn't want to leave her home. They don't go every single day but a few day's out of the week might give you a break also.

Janet,
You are at a rough spot with your Mom right now. It does not sound like she can be alone or at your house. I hope there is a wonderful facility where she will be taken care of 24/7, and be happy. You can visit her as often as you both need, but you will both feel safe. You know I am praying for you both.

Still in hospital since Saturday. They just took her to have a flexible sigmoidoscopy done. I hope it's not too painful for her because they won't be putting her out for the procedure. I have a sub for the afternoon route. So I'll be here till this evening when my brothers will be here.
Road are snow packed and icy, but it still only takes about 30 minutes to get to the hospital. Not sure how much longer they'll keep her, but I do know.....I need a vacation really bad!!! More snow due this weekend I guess so I hope it's not much.

She's is home now Paula. She shouldn't be really, but I have people coming in to help and a service that delivers the noon meal every day. I'm beginning to believe that Mom really sees why she shouldn't be at home alone, but she is continuing to try.
