Round-the-clock attention, and for someone whose condition often makes them fight you instead of appreciate it, is something just this side of martyrdom in my book. Hang in there!<br /><br />And, you even remembered Blog Action Day! I forgot. And I had even started a post a few weeks ago after registering for it.NVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833093597689579655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-17438544363351281872010-10-17T10:34:19.590-07:002010-10-17T10:34:19.590-07:00Karen,

I didn't know anything about any of this and felt so alone and scared to see this happening to her. I know you are such a blessing to so many. Not to mention you are a wonderful daughter.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-19398115532032388312010-10-15T12:25:40.029-07:002010-10-15T12:25:40.029-07:00Thanks for the advice, Karen.

Very good tips! It's definitely hard when we sometimes have to be more of the "grown-up" but it just seems to come with this season of life. Kind of like when my kids acted up and I had to go from the cute nickname to the full first, middle, and last name of the child to get their attention. <br /><br />Two suggestions on the alarm clocks that have helped us over the years - <br />1. Set more than one alarm. I use an iphone which lets me set several alarms for different times and when I'm worried about oversleeping, I will set 2 or 3. <br />2. Put the alarm clock across the room - and make sure it has an obnoxious ring that will catch your attention. I have the ringer on my iPhone set to sound like breaking glass. Sounds horrible but it works :)<br /><br />Praying you both get more sleep! :)Kaye Swain - SandwichINK for the Sandwich Generationhttp://www.sandwichink.com/how-to-provide-water-to-needy-countries-without-ever-leaving-your-sandwich-generation-familynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-27478744680536739102010-10-15T10:36:09.212-07:002010-10-15T10:36:09.212-07:00hugs and kisses to you. you are often in my though...hugs and kisses to you. you are often in my thoughts.judi/Gmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758419906885139018noreply@blogger.com
