    Katie Hang in there. Your dad is doing what he can right now – along with the medical help. Be sure that he gets up and walks. Review this with the medical staff but I think that they will want him walking as soon as possible.

    Susie When we tried Stanford as an alternate facility, they would not take a patient without a doctor referral. It was also hard to get past the voice mail setup. When my wife was treated at the SCCA there were others there that were referrals from Stanford. Best of luck for your mom. Willie

    Katie Have them try pediatric tape on your dad’s sensitive skin. It worked great for my wife. If I can remember the name of it I’ll pass it along.
    Best of luck to your dad. Willie

    Linda The large rash you see could possibly be Sweet’s Syndrome – often a precursor to MDS. Thinking of the both of you.

    Patti I know that the last two years have been tough for both of you. I really appreciate the effort and concern you have given to this forum. Even though you know that it is the disease that taking her, it still hurts to know that you have to let her go. Your sorrow won’t go away but it will become less painfull. Thinking of you both, Willie
