Respite Care

Aunt Helen and Mom had a falling out last night over something irrational imagined on Aunt Helen's part. Brother Bill, who has a few years of experience caring for his stepmom-in-law with alzheimers, said this is not surprising. He also said it would be super helpful at this point to have fresh faces to help with Aunt Helen.

So, tonight, Meg and Ev spent five hours at the folks'. Karis had the wonderful idea for Meg to bring along a bunny she is taking care of for a friend this week. Aunt Helen loved "the kitty" and was sorry when the girls had to leave. Meg, Ev, and the bunny were exhausted, but Bill said it was like "a vacation" for him and the folks. Which I suppose is what respite care is intended to be.
