Sue, I hope things go well for you and your family. Is your mom in a position to take care of your dad under "normal" conditions? Is your dad well enough to participate in the decision? Make sure everyone knows you expect this to be a temporary arrangement if that is what you want. I certainly don't envy you your task, My thoughts and prayers are with you.
