Hello @baney Nice to e-meet you here on Mayo Connect even if it is due to some terrible circumstances. I am sorry to hear of your mom's need for caregiving. It is wonderful to read that you have some care assistance each week! That is so important for you and awesome that you have those resources available! That is also terrific that your husband can manage the 'home front' and the pets! I bet they are really happy to see you when you get home too!

If I may ask, what is your Mom suffering from?

Strength, courage, and peace!

My mom has Dementia diagnosed 10 years ago. On April 22, 17 took mom to the ER for a stroke. While in ICU on April 23 she had her second stroke.
My dad had his own medical problems main one being CHF. He fell on April 24th and fractured his back. He passed away May 15th.
Mom was in rehab when she got sick and was admitted into the hospital. They told us to say our good byes. I brought mom home on June 1st. In the first 3 months if being home she had rallied twice. In December hospice had to discharge her.
So mom has mixed dementia and strokes.
