I also don't believe her parents will be able to take care of her. She will eventually end up on the State's dime. Lying there all alone, with strangers taking care of her.

Hildy - why do you think this? I think her family has demonstrated a remarkable dedication to her.... she has a brother (unsure of other sibling?) as well as her parents.

I am speaking from experience as our family cared for my bedridden brother for 18 years - had my parents died first - I would never have dreamed of putting him in the care of strangers..... all because of the example of my parents... There is little glamor in caring for a relative in such a state - but many joys and peace from doing the right thing.....

Please don't. I've been taking care of my bedridden mother in my home for six years.
