How do you deal with love ones getting sick like almost yearly, to monthly?

I'm totally drained on February 20th I got the call from my mom that my dad was having stomach pains,throwing up, & having breathing issues! He ends up in the ER & stayed in the hospital for 4 days. Diagnosis mersa blood going towards septic! We think it was food poisoning via KFC he had the day b4. Kind of funny because during that week there was news of KFCs' closing because they run out of chicken in Australia! If Australia knew how sick my dad felt, they would be happy their KFC's restaurants closed down.   So, tired, I had to drive to & from the hospital helping with getting what they needed from their house, me going home dealing with my cats, horrible parking situations! It's hard cause the month before it was my mom that was sick with something I forgot what but it's like they take turns getting seriously sick! Their kids just need a breather. Just happy dad escaped the Grimm reaper's grip this time!

You are so blessed, just thank God you were able to help them.  As we get older it is so good to have children who cares enjoy to help take care of us.  God bless you.

Lucky to have somebody like you to help family when you can! I don't live to close to family any more so it would be tuff for me to get out and help if they had health issues or hospital visits!

I am glad your dad is feeling better.
