Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda!

My wife andI are part of what is being called the “Sandwich Generation”. We are the legal guardians of two of our grandchildren, ages 9 and 7, and we are giving care to our aging parents.

Her mom is nearing her 81st birthday and is suffering from a form of leukemia and kidney failure that requires dialysis three times a week. She does not want to move to an assisted living facility, so my wife, who just retired, is taking her mom to treatments, cleaning her home and other chores that need her attention. While we had considered a Medical Alarm, we did not get one quick enough. A month ago my mother in law fell and could not get to a phone. She laid on the floor for a few hours till her son came by to check on her. Now, following the hospital stay, the Medical Alarm is a real comfort to all of us. If she falls again, she will be able to get help right away.

My dad is already 81 and healthy, but he is going to get a Medical Alarm as part of his Christmas present from me!.
