Keep it up
Hi Joanne,
You have already gotten the best advise ever, right here in this forum. Keep on asking questions. Information is power.
You are a wonderful daughter taking the bull by the horns to help your mom. I wish my children had your heart felt desire to protect and go to bat for their parents. Your best ally, I believe, in your quest to have your mom seek a specialist is going to be your dad. Just seeing the way you show your love and caring for your mom tells me you learn that from your dad. Remember, your dad may feel helpless because he can't control or cure this decease. So help him be informed. If possible, go with them to her next visit to the doctor. Go prepared with lots of questions for the doctor to answer.
And don't you be afraid. This decease has a cure, God willing. So be strong do your homework and forge ahead.
We pray your mom will do well.
Eli.
