    DD is moving back in with us next fall

    Just got a call from her this morning and have been discussing details with her dad. She is going to be spending a week here at the beginning of the summer, and then going back to Alaska until a couple weeks before school starts in the fall. Technically he will owe child support, but since he's not working right now I am not going to be counting on it. I will need to file with the courts for the change. Not sure yet if I will need an atty.

    Meanwhile my husband's health has been rapidly declining because of the CKD. He has lost over 30 pounds in the past 6 weeks. Doesn't eat much and cannot keep about half of what he does eat down. :-( He has a nephrology appointment on the 24th. Sucks.

    Things sound really difficult. I wish that your husband could get better. I remember you saying he was rejecting dialysis. Still so?

    Do you husband and your daughter know each other very well? I can imagine it might be hard on each one of you to make this switch in living arrangement just now. Although, I can also imagine it would be hard on all not to make the switch.

    I wish I had some wisdom for you. Remember your own health, mental health, too, during this tough time.

      Well, he is still not wanting to do dialysis (though he has not ruled it out completely), but he is very open to a transplant at this time. Myself and my sister's husband are both wanting to be evaluated as potential donors. Our insurance carrier changed in January, so unfortunately that has thrown some wrenches in, as we have to find all new doctors for him. It's taking some time. He didn't like the first GP he went to, but has now found one he likes.

      DD has spent every summer, and spring and winter break, here and she was 10 when I started dating DH. She has always liked him and they get along very well. He is very happy she is coming. He wanted her to as much as I did, if not more so.

        Having a new person around could prove a mood elevator which has a huge impact on health. I'm hoping that the case for your situation.
