My young adult daughter is in the hospital. She is on medication that makes her groggy. I want to be involved with her care, but don’t know what I should do.

If you accept this advocacy role, you should plan on being with your loved one as much as possible. Use your voice to ask about diagnosis, prognosis, medications and diagnostic tests. Ask the questions that your loved one is unable to ask for herself and be sure to share the answers with her when she is able to understand.
