36. I'm so sorry. I know you and your wife are feeling this sense of helplessness hard.

Anyone in the city that can deliver groceries or other items (meds, diapers, etc..) and leave them at the door? That might help your daughter by taking that off her plate.

Do a wellness check if only from the door?

Hoping for the best!
