Care 24/7

Hello Friends and Family,
We've reached the point now where mom needs care 24/7, or atleast someone with her at all times to make sure she is safe. Between me, Karen, dad and occasional visitors we've been able to maintain this need. But, we have now seen the need to have more scheduled times of help from others as well.
We accessed an onilne care calendar that we will be posting here tomorrow that will give a detailed description of the needs we are hoping to fill. One of those needs is for an overnight caregiver. This will have some specific requirements such as staying awake (for the most part) during the night. This is so that Karen and I can have some further rotation and not have to do it every other night.
It's hard to ask for help in these areas, knowing that it is a big commitment. We are realizing/acknowledging that we want to enjoy time with mom as much as possible and that it is also really hard when we are the sole care providers.
Thank you all for your support and continued prayers.
