If you find yourself and your siblings caring for your mom or dad, or another elderly loved one, here's an idea.

Dad has four children who take turns taking him to the doctors. Last week we started a journal that we leave at his house so all of us can take it to the appointments when we go. We take notes while the doctor is speaking so we don't forget anything. Then we leave the notebook on the table at Dad's for us to look through the next time we're there. So far, so good. He's had five appointments in the last 10 days. Lots going on, but for the most part, he's doing well and hanging in there. The appointments have all been heart related. YUk. I don't want to get old.
