Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Oh, Meg. I am sorry to hear we have so many families with this problem right now. It is stressful enough at this time of year, without more problems. Good thoughts coming your way. I hope this gets taken care of. The immune system of the LBD patient is so at risk, which opens the door for the infections. Take as good care of yourself as you can under the circumstances. When you are in this situation, things need to slide so you can get your care too. Hugs and prayers, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
