Funding still not arranged for Peter to come home

[misdee]

and the docs are saying they wont back up our form to more to a more suitable home, as the govt wont like it if all VAD patients had to move to bigger places (errrrrr??? wtf??). I have told peter to tell the docs, that if it doesnt work having him home then i will send him right back to the hospital.

one care service has already refused to take care of peter as its a medical problem and they deal with social situations, so am still waiting.

Sorry to here your still having an uphill battle misdee. How is Peter? Did I read earlier in the week he had some virus or something?

he has VRE somewhere in his system. it isnt causing a problem right now but he will need weekly swabbing, and monitoring. he says it very uncomfortable when they swab the VAD site as they have to dig right in (ouch).

when they applied for funding it was for him to be home sometime in the next week or so. not looking likely. They still need the funding and to get a care package sorted, the carers trained and for us to meet them.
