[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 253779, member: 1233"] Tell the family that you are afraid you will have a relapse and end up back in the hospital. Also tell jaime that it is a step toward adulthood for Cory to host him and could he PLEASE indulge you? It would make you so relieved, to know Cory is taking this next step with HIM because you know Jaime would tell him gently if he messed up some of the social rules associated with being a host? Otherwise, tell them that with your health they just can't stay with you. If they come down they either stay with Cory or they pay for a hotel somewhere. This is just not a time when the doctor thinks you can handle the extra stress of guests, esp when one is a small child. If he gets upset then you can act all hurt that he wants to you "go back to the hospital and be on a respirator in a coma. Especially after ALL you did to take care of him when he was a child. You were labor for TWENTY hours, didn't sleep for FOUR MONTHS when he had colic, etc... and so on .... And now he just wants you to "hurry up and die from a relapse of your illness!" Guilt, when skillfully applied, can go a LONG way with our kids. Not sure how thick I would lay it on, but I would do some of it. When it comes right down to it, it is YOUR home. If YOU are NOT up for guests, then tell them. If they get upset, well, it will blow over in time. I am sorry they are putting you in this position. [/QUOTE]
