I am pretty much where you are my wife had a stroke in January, was dumped in to a rehab as fast as possible and even with my vigilance care on the hospital side of rehab was spotty and seem to get a little more sloppy each day she was there. Also you can't be there 24/7, even through I was there so much I was asked more than once if I ever went home, but even though I was there things went on I wasn't always aware of.

My wife started having panic attacks when it got near to my going home time and I often stayed until early morning or all night to clam her down and she could sleep.

At the end it was a bout of pneumonia that sent her back to the hospital for 6 days. While at the hospital her mood and spirit became better and the panic attacks disappeared. When it came time for her to be released back to rehab I had her moved to a much better place and while she still had a few bad nights her spirit remained much better over all.

But the insurance will only pay for so much rehab and she was sent home two weeks ago and it has been a struggle. I have some help, but no one that is strong enough to make transfers so I need to be close at all times and can not be gone more than a few hours depending on the kind of day she is having.

There will soon come a time in which I must make some decisions in which there will be no good choices.

All I can say is you must trust in the Lord and know that you are not alone.
