Tuesday May 12

Today dad got to move yet again. Hopefully this is the last move before coming home.

Dad is now on the 6th floor room 6208.

Even though this in still inside the hospital it is not a part of the hospital. It is owned/run by Select Medical Corp. Everything has the look and feel of a hospital. The only real difference I can see right now is that the rooms have 2 people to a room whereas the hospital has all private rooms.

Dad's case manager said she doesn't know of anyone that has left their facilities and went straight home unless someone was with them for the first few weeks. If dad can't stay by himself for a short time I am not sure how I will work it but I will figure out something. I don't think dad would be agreeable to go somewhere else for several weeks and I really want him home. Later in the week the case manager will let me know how long Medicare/insurance will pay for dad to stay there and the plan for getting him ready to come home in that time limit. I pray that God will give us a miracle here. I don't feel really 100% good about this, I don't know why. I guess I am afraid someone will walk in and say that dad can never live alone again. If that were to happen...........I think dad and I both would have to be put in a mental hospital.

Keep those prayers going up for dad and me.
