- What types of problems are your aging parents going through?
John Barnes is 85 years old and has recently had to tackle cataract surgery, hearing aids, a pacemaker, and going to a support group after his wife went to memory care.
John's son is Mike Barnes, a co-founder of Parenting Aging Parents. Mike talks to his Dad about what he's had to battle through and how communication and support are important for both sides.

Just discovered this channel and I just want to say the information you are providing is so helpful, practical and super informative.
But THIS particular video is priceless- all of us hope and desire our parents take care of these health concerns and observing and listening to our loved ones is critical.
Chuckled at your talk about “stubbornness” this is quite a challenge.
Thank you and God bless you and your father. Happy Father’s Day❤
Thanks for your kind words and glad you're finding the videos helpful. Whenever we interview our parents it is extra special and we're so appreciative that they're willing to share to hopefully help others!
My mom had cataract surgery in both eyes several years ago. I was with her and helped her with putting in drops afterward. I still help her put in drops in her eyes to this day.😊 My dad passed away in January of this year and I was his primary caregiver. I miss taking care of him. He struggled a lot with COPD and glaucoma. Towards the end he had problems with his kidneys. I would help him with his medications and physical therapy and respiratory therapy. I would take him to his doctor appointments. I miss him! But yes, our parents go through a lot.
You definitely understand the challenges. Glad you were able to help your dad and now your mom. They're lucky to have you!
@@parentingagingparents Thank you! I am lucky to have them. My dad was/ my mom are wonderful parents.
