Mary is in the hospital and Dale needs some support. It would be great if people could take a day off periodically to spend time at home with Dale. Grocery shop for Dale's favorites incorporating healthy choices. Check the fridge to make sure there is good food and that spoiled things are removed. Light housekeeping. Run errands. Make dinner/have dinner together. If you can't take a day off feel free to sign up for a morning or afternoon. Anything would help. We don't know how long they will need this support because even after Mary gets home from the hospital they will still need some support.
