Anniehb,
I've been in your shoes. I admire and respect care partners who are so fully involved and dedicated to the health and welfare of their loved one. It seems like a thankless job at times, but hang in there. You're doing a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing a piece of your and your husband's story.
