<p>MIL passed peacefully yesterday morning. FIL is feeling pretty lost right now, but family is gathering and will do what families do. Thanks to all on this forum, I’ll be keeping up because the focus now will move to how to care for FIL, which is going to be a whole other story.</p>

<p>Great links. I’ve already spotted 3 cases of inappropriate care for my parents. :-(</p>

<p>Oldmom- saw that study and it is very interesting. Thanks for posting it. </p>

<p>CF- That link should be required reading. Very informative and succinct. Thank you. Why is m-i-l being given “Boost”? Hmmm… Thank you for sharing, CF. In general, it is quite validating of my “does he have to take that?” approach to care for my frail 90 year old father with dementia. He is off everything except basic quality of life drugs. </p>

<p>LasMa- so common to have these things fall into place over time and not have careful review of whole picture, decision by decision… I think we all have some experience with at least one case of this. </p>
