Hi everybody. Please don't take bed sores lightly. Don't forget that Christopher Reeve *died* of complications from a bed sore, and he had the best possible care. Our dear Jude is also in her situation because of bed sores, that is what started her downslide. They are truly life-threatening. It isn't enough to take something to stop the pain. They are still there. There are lots of things you can use to help prevent and treat them -- just google "bed sores". Don't just take an advil and hope they go away, they won't. Just look what poor Jude is going through. They're much easier to prevent than to heal once they've taken hold. Bless you all -- michelle
