I had a very similar situation, but I am using it for a family member with an illness to provide updates to the wider friends and family without relying on the primary caretaker to give these updates and a blog seemed the best way. We also wanted to allow people to add comments to the posts to give encouragement, etc. Your link to the OpenID somehow led me to this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ which is more appropriate for our audience.
I can’t seem to comment, so I’m posting this as an answer. Apologies for the breach of etiquette, but I thought this might be helpful. Apparently I need to go find other people to help.
