Amy, it sounds like your mother is in severe depression. I hope your father has a support group to help him. I know that you feel so helpless being so far away but it seems you are doing all you can. I agree tough love can help some people, but not all. The caregiver has to keep nagging her to eat. An ounce or two an hour to get her back to taking in calories might be the way to go.
God bless you and don't give up on her.
My husband was diagnosed with MDS June 30, '09. He is not a BMT candidate but seems to be doing very well on Vidaza.
