Yes, this is a difficult situation, and to have proper care given is very expensive. To car for an elderly person at home is also not easy, especially if a couple is still working full time. We are sitting in the same situation, where my father in law must be on oxygen full time and basically cannot leave the house. (My wife's brother is looking after him, but it makes it very difficult for him)
All of the best with your mom.
At least we're semi-retired but it's quite harrowing as it now requires two of us to help her as her legs are like jelly and her speech really bad most if the time. Seems like it's multiple seizures caused by the inflammation around the tumour as there's now more pressure on the brain stem. At least she does not have pain!
I can just imagine how difficult it must be for your brother and the rest of the family!
Old age is not for sissies is only now becoming a reality for me.
Agreed!!
