Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

As much as like like to give DH a hard time, I’m really feeling for him right now. His step dad (94yo next wk) fell a couple weeks ago & fractured his femur. His mom is only 82 but has a heavy case of dementia. They have family back east where they live, but no one willing to take care of them. They were going to put FIL in a nursing home to rehab & talked about sending MIL out here. These poor people where so worried about each other that the 3days he was in the hospital they both were steadily declining. Long story short, DH flew out there & has been living with them the last couple weeks so that they could go home & be together.

Now the big question. What now? He can’t stay out there forever, but how can he leave them with family who’s not willing to step up? We’ve tried to get them to move out here to be closer to us. FIL is adamant that he won’t move anywhere, certainly not across the country.... DH wants to come home so bad, but he can’t leave them. It’s a very difficult situation.:hmm
