My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 9 years ago. She is 57 years old and cannot walk, and has struggled lately to even stand with assistance long enough to transfer from her wheelchair to her bed or to a toilet. For a long time, my father was able to do everything she needed with no issue. However, he turned 61 in November, has had back problems his entire life, and is beginning to struggle with the day-to-day care that my mother needs He is a very proud man, so he hasn't actively looked for assistance to this point. While I understand and respect that about him, I'm also afraid that he is going to hurt himself.
He needs some sort of assistance, and I want to find it for him. My problem is that I don't know where to look. I have donated in the past to the National MS Society and have participated in numerous MS Walks around Northeast Ohio, but haven't heard back from them yet.
If anyone knows of any places or services that may help, please share. I want to do everything possible to keep both of them as happy and as healthy as they can be.
Thanks guys!
