Lois worries about who will look after her son with developmental issues.

Transcript

Well I think my biggest worry is that I’m going to have a heart attack or I’m going to have another episode of heart failure and not be able to manage my son. But certainly people know a lot – as much about him as they – as they can. I’ve kept them very up to date and he is as about as independent as he can be. He’s out right now at [store] and he works at [store] once a week, twice a week so he’s pretty independent that way but he does require – so that’s my biggest worry is what’s going to happen. But you know what, if I die somebody else will look after him and I’m not going to be worrying myself. That sounds terrible but there’s not much I can do about it if – but I just don’t want to become infirm and have a stroke and then not be able to look after [my son], that’s the biggest thing. That’s my worry. And are there people to look after him when I’m not available to, not really but they’ll have to – the system will have to look after him.
