PT did come in. They "taught" dad how to get out of the bed and they "worked" with him on walking. These are all things that dad has been doing on his own for sometime. However, we needed documented proof that he was doing these things. Our hope is that this will bring dad over to St. Joe's sooner rather than later.
As soon as PT left I stood at the case manager's desk until she printed and faxed over the latest notes to St. Joe's. Now, at one o'clock we wait to hear back from St. Joe's. This has definitely tested my patience. I will update more as the day goes on.
Prayer requests:
- Pray for us to have wisdom and patience with the staff/hospital.
- Pray that my dad gets placed in the best place and at the best time.
- If they cannot transfer dad today, pray that he handles the news well. (He has not been told yet that he may have to wait another day...he will be told when we no for sure that he is not moving).
Maybe it would be good not to tell him of a date. We have been told 4 times of a move and it has not happened yet.
ReplyDeleteI agree. At this point we have been telling dad that it takes time and not to give up. The reason he was so frustrated was because the case worker over the weekend told him he could move as early as Monday. We have asked that they no longer give dad any expectations and allow us to be the ones to communicate with dad.
ReplyDeleteSt. Joe's has dad's paperwork. The physicians are reviewing his file, they will let us know when they make a decision.
