I'm sorry to hear about your Dad's stroke. I can't believe you're in your 3rd trimester already! Do you feel like you've been pregnant forever? Oh, Erin. I’m sorry to hear about your Dad’s stroke.

I can’t believe you’re in your 3rd trimester already! Do you feel like you’ve been pregnant forever?

He's getting sicker and sicker by the day ... he's refused to get any assistance medically so pretty much, refusing intervention and getting sicker and sicker by the day. They're so in denial. I hope your dad isn't as freakin' stubborn! BTW, did you know your mom can go through EI to have some short-term leave made available as a result of his condition? I'm not entirely sure of the specifics and I think it's a case-by-case basis. This may allow her to stay home without losing too much income. Hope that helps. If you have enough EI hours, you too may qualify for this. Only one person can claim this time to assist the family member, so it'd have to be either her or you. And, if you have enough hours for mat leave, you may be able to roll from one right into the other. Good luck with that, and message me if you have any questions. my dad has just had (2 months ago) his second stroke, the first to affect hiim physically. the first just affected speech and cognitive thinking.
