Dear family and friends,
Many people are calling and writing to ask "WHEN can we see Donna?" I'd like to ask all of you for your patience and just a little more time. Right now we don't know the next step for her - how long will she remain in her hospital room, when will they move her, and where will they move her? There is another floor in Baptist Hospital (the 4th floor) where she could go for a period of time that provides skilled nursing. Here she could continue to work with the speech/physical therapists. Yet, this morning the hospital suggested it might be best to transfer to an off campus facility called Baptist Rehabilitation which is a more intensive recovery program. That sounds good, right? But, there is still a possibility that she will go home for continued treatment. We just don't know the answers yet.
Also, there is insurance coverage to consider - are they willing to let her stay in Memphis, for how long, what will they approve - the rehab place or something else? You all know that insurance rules our world so, for now - we are in a holding pattern to see what is next. I suspect it will take a day or two to iron out all the details.
Last of all that, there is just the pure fact that all of this will progress only as quickly as Donna is ready to move on. Plese understand that we will get the latest and greatest news out to you as fast as possible. Then you can make your plans ot visit Donna in Memphis or Visalia.
Thanks !
