From the Owner:
I know first hand how difficult it can be to effectively and yet lovingly deal with health care issues affecting our loved ones. From my father’s 13-year battle with cancer to my mother’s 8-year struggle with Alzheimer’s and my youngest son’s life with Asperger Syndrome, I know that knowledge can give us power to deal with even the most challenging situations. I hope that some of the provided links below may be useful to you.
