Family Meeting - Oh No!

So my brother, sister and I had a family meeting last night. This was our FIRST EVER family meeting, so I was a little freaked out when my sister said let's do this. It went well...I even made dinner - another first! (ok, I've cooked before but not for my brother and sister).

The day care that the rehab people recommended is on the opposite side of town from where we live. My sister or I would have to get her there by 7 a.m. in order for us to be at work on time. Then we would have to pick her up by 5 p.m. Since I get off work at 4:30, I would get the afternoon duty. The rehab van would pick her up from there around 9 and take her to therapy and then bring her back to day care in the afternoon. So in addition to the day rate, we would have to spend extra time and gas taking her back and forth.

As it turns out, a woman from my sister's church may be able to come to our house when I leave for work in the morning and stay w/ mom until the rehab van picks her up to go to therapy. Then she would come back in the afternoon stay w/ her until I or my sister get home. And she would be cheaper than the day care. My sister will talk to her today. But this made a lot of sense to us. And really, it would only be for a couple of months. We all believe that mom will be able to stay alone before and after therapy fairly quickly. She will just need a little help in the beginning until she gets her bearings again.

So for now, we are waiting on an answer from the woman about staying w/ mom. Thanks for your prayers and for listening to me vent, etc.
