can he not get transferred? if his job is stressing him a lot he should probably take a lower stress job anyway, so that everyone can be happy and relaxed, rather than one person getting highly stressed and depending on another’s complete attention for recovery.

You are being selfish. You have to look at benefits of a situation before jumping into it.
You said:
1) You have a loving husband.
2) Great with the kids.
3) You both are financially settled.
4) Both make great money.
A job is about money. Prestige is about ego. Never choose a job over your family especially if your only motive is just ego and prestige.
Your family is more important than a business title, especially if one is sick and depends on you. That’s what marriage is about! Taking care of each other and making sacrifices for the sake of the family.
You have a happy family, husband, and child. No money worries and good job already. Why trash that for nothing?
