With your MIL still in the hospital I would talk with the Case Management team and see what every available resource in your community there is. Maybe an adult day care service, home health, meals on wheels, private care takers etc. Some of these services may help ease some of the stress.
And like others have said sit down and lay it all out with your family. Everything from finances, living arrangements, schedules as to when you'll get relief etc. Make a list of all your concern and expectations. If it's not something that everyone can handle then nursing home might be an option. A hard decision I understand. Make sure you check them out like said above check them out at different times during the day to see how things look.
No matter what you've got some tough decisions to make. God bless.
