Rhonda,

I don't have that kind of medical or drug knowledge, but I would tend to
agree with you.  The hard thing about adults is that we can't "make them,"
do anything unless there is intervention.  I will keep praying with and for
you.  Do you think your mom would realize that she needs help getting on top
of this and would voluntarily ask for it?

Vicki
