Angie, when you are the caregiver, it is normal to be very sensitive to the carereceiver. I was one who never heard things during the night. When Lucie got sick, even though she was in an adjoining room, I began hearing every move, every cough, every sigh. It was like I was the mother. When Lucie got better, I went back to not hearing as much during the night. Funny how that is. Prayers for you and your dad. Don
