My mom had a massive stroke in March and as a result has a trach.
She was in the hospital/rehab for 3 months fighting for her life, literally.
She came home in June and is in decent shape, meaning she has all her faculties and is able to get around with her walker.
Her biggest obstacle is the trach. You see, I am 29 years old and am her primary caretaker.
I am in desperate need of help.
I do everything for her...trach care, bath/showers, meals, finances, doctor appts....everything.
In addition, I also work full time. Her insurance has cut off all her services. They took the home health aide away from her and
stopped all VNS/Physical Therapist visits. I just do not know what to do. I have even considered paying out of pocket, but that does not even work.
I have contacted many home care agencies and the aides do not want to come because she has a trach...liability issues.
If I purse an RN & LPN, they will cost $40-$60 per hour...that would be out of pocket and extremely expensive.
I am dire need of help and so is she. She has come so far and I don't want to see her go downhill.

Only way you can contact her is through her website. www.oprah.com. Good luck however, there are hundreds of people in a situation similar to yours. I myself am one of those people who have a story. Unfortunately it does not seem as though many people have had luck with getting through to her. If you read the message boards, there are so many people going through something (healthwise) who have dedicated day in and day out to get through to Oprah and still nothing. Good luck to you!
