FROM KENTUCKY

Hi my name is Jillian and this is my husband Fredrick Scott. He is my best friend. I am the privileged care provider for my husband. I am proud of that title and cherish every moment we have together. We have 3 children together and have built a wonderful life. I think the biggest challenge for us was when we had to figure out a schedule for everyone. We suddenly went down to one income household and I needed to pick up more hours at work. While at the same time keeping up with Fredrick Scott's care. Luckily, my sister and his niece volunteered some of their time! It was a blessing to have their support. I could not have done it without them!
