There will be regular days and evenings when Jim will need "stand-by" caretakers. His mother and father are the primary caretakers right now; they will, of course, need to be relieved several nights a week as well as time on the weekend. I am currently working with Jim's mother to come up with a schedule of routine "relief" for her. Those who would like to volunteer for this caretaker role will assist Jim with very basic things he might need, like making sure water glass is full and within reach, making sure he's got meals, holding his hand, letting him sleep, greeting visitors, etc. At this moment, since I don't have anything on the Care Calendar, email me directly at kewetzel@gmail.com if you are interested in even brief periods of caretaking. I want to give his mother an idea of how many people are willing.
It would mean so much to the family to have evening respite and rest!
