At 29 I have been given control of my mothers care. I have been taking care of her sice I was 16 when she first got sick but now it is official I am the one who has control over her health care. It scares the crap out of me. What if I do something wrong? What if next time she does not want to be on the resperator? My grandmother and brother are no help and all the doctors care about is what I decide to do. What I seek from you is support and maybe someone to tell me it will be alright even when I don't think so.

Let me first tell you that you and your mother will be in my prayers. I know you can handle this even though it might not feel like it right now. Just think about it you have done it since you were 16 anyway right. The only difference is now its on paper. Just trust that you will make the right decisions and in the end your mother will be OK. If your mother put you in charge of the situation its because she trusts your judgement.
