Background story... Shortened. My uncles wife got diagnosed with cancer and asked if she could move in with us and our 2 children, 3 and 1 year old. Since this a family fallout happened and me, partner and kids have been left to deal with what's happening. They don't visit her and don't ask about her. Rarely speak to us. This happened in July.
Current day... She is so weak. Losing weight at fast rate, another 4kg in 6 days. Rare she eats, now not drinking her fortsips. She's getting dizzy. Today she fell in the kitchen saying she tripped up over her own foot. Won't let me call the red number. I told her of she doesn't drink and try something I am going to have to call for help. She's never let me go to appointment with her but ideally I want to speak to consultant, as I've questions I want answering myself.
I don't know when am suppose to call for help, when help is needed, what to expect, what's coming, how to prepare the kids. Were in this all alone.
Just needed a place to write this down...don't need responses.
