I am so sorry K.Butterfly.

You must be shocked and so terribly worried right now, and it's no surprise you're in a flair with everything that's been going on.

I read you only have the one sister, but are there any community support systems you can call on? I don't necessarily mean a housekeeper or other support services for your mother (although you might want to think about it later), but what about for yourself? Would getting some-one in to help you, give you a breather and allow you more time to spend with your mother? Are you involved in your local church? They can be a life saver at times like this, and usually all you have to do is ask.

Do you have children, and if so... will they help you to take time out? If you can rest just a little, hopefully your flair might be over soon. Have you spoken to your doc? Do you need treatment to help get this exacerbation over sooner, seeing how so much else is going on right now.

I'm sending up prayers for all of you, but is there any other way we can help?
