Great idea nothemama....maybe some friends could be counted on to visit with her for an hour or so at a time....it would help to lighten her situation by having her peers by her side and give Kimmy a much needed break.

Also, Kimmy, if you and your daughter belong to a church, maybe a weekly visit from a priest or pastor might be beneficial. They are always willing to visit those in need of a smiling face and calming demeanor.
