CARE E-MAGAZINE: SPRING 2013


WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU DO FOR YOU? I have continued my profession of over 30 years, tutor children, enjoy hobbies, and travel some.


WHAT ARE THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE FOUND HELPFUL? Medical doctors, support programs from drug companies, the MS Society, teleconferences and educational resources such as Internet articles, books, and MS Society publications.


I even purchased stock in the drug companies that supplied Kristen’s medicine, so I could be up on the latest research.


DO YOU HAVE ADVICE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER CARE PARTNERS? Trust your family and friends, look for resources, read research, encourage normalcy, educate others, set high expectations, surround yourself with positive people, stay open-minded, don’t assume the worst, think of the good times, especially during the bad times, think positive, and most importantly….live for today!
