Thank you, Chris. Keeping track of meds and scheduled treatments can be overwhelming. There is never any doubt if a med was or was not given if a daily check-off chart is used without fail.

My transition from daughter and sister to becoming caregiver for my Dad, Mom and handicapped sister has spanned several years. It would have been very difficult had I been thrust into the role overnight. One of our Dr.'s has switched to recording everything on the computer about our visits while we are in the room with him. It takes a little longer, his office claims it is more expensive and produces more paperwork. Still, we walk out with a detailed report from the visit. Do you think this is how health information is going to be exchanged in the future? --Mary Nix @Chris@FenwayMedical:

I think that the transition from a family member to full time caregiver can be very overwhelming to someone who is not prepared . Your tips on filing and keeping track of information are very helpful and with the change in how health information is going to be exchanged in the future, it is important to have a good system for your own personal records.
