    I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. i just lost my husband and i had the same things to do that you are going through now. i kept turning him so he wouldn't get bedsores.I would wipe him down with a cool washcloth. I put pillows between his legs. I did anything I could think of to make him more comfortable. I hope these suggestions help. Please feel free to contact me.
