Thank you for posting and sharing. It inspired me to write to my Governor asking to include family caregivers especially over a certain age like 50s or 60s in qualifying for the vaccine. I'm only 62 (probably the only time I will use "only" with my age - haha) and don't qualify for the vaccine yet in my State. But Other states are doing it for family caregivers (and I pointed that out in my email to my Gov). I am also sharing these articles that I read.

Good luck out there (it's been a struggle tonight with my LO and thus, my 3:33 a.m. post - she is fixated to accompany me to a doctor's appointment and keeps getting out of bed - I probably also need advice on what's a good sleep/anxiety med especially at night - she is only on Zoloft.)
