Travel of Bed Bound Parent on Tourist Visa: Flight and Insurance guidance

[Priya Chittoor]

Hello ,

This is Priya. My mother had a major brain stroke last year and she is completely paralyzed on her left side and needs to be fed through NG/Riles tube. 

 I need help bringing my mother to me here in the United States, so she will be with my children for few months and I can show her to doctors/physiotherapists here. I’m sure she will heal and respond better when she sees her grandchildren. My parents both have their B1/B2 visas to travel.

Wonder how will I accommodate to bring her on a long flight journey and any options available? and please suggest on good health insurance that can be used while they are here.

Any guidance, help much appreciated.

Thank You,

Priya

The condition pretty much rules out any commercial flight. Short of chartering an airplane there are no options. Visit her with the kids in her home country.
