They don't need a fancy -- and expensive! -- medical relay setup. Any ideas? My first suggestion would be to try a cordless telephone with a "paging" feature. Your father could simply carry the phone with him. If your mother had a problem, she could "page" the phone. He'd then know if there was something wrong. Another idea. Skytel (a paging company) is marketing 2-way pagers. I don't know the costs, nor if they're available in your area. They have a web site -- http://www.skytel.com good luck!
