I just got a call from Randal. There are 15 people in the hallway in the hospital here in town where they want to transfer him. In other words...no beds available. They need the bed where he's at for someone else, so they are discharging him home and having someone come here to do rehab with him. This is not exciting. I'm exhausted and stressed....the thought of looking after him is...well...a bit overwhelming. Not that I don't want him home...it will be nice...I'm just worried about him not getting the care that he needs. He's going to need dressing changes on his back..and I don't know what else...But I guess we'll see about all that when he gets home. I guess this is a symptom of our health program in crisis.
Randal's mom is also coming home today. She'll go to her sister's in town here, as she shouldn't be staying alone. Will update later when I know more.

Hope everything is going well with Randall and your MIL. That is to bad they had to send him home early just because of a lack of beds!

Haven't been reading blogs lately because of my own "stuff". Sorry you are in the midst of all this. Remember, keep your eye's fixed on Jesus. None of this has taken Him by surprise and he has His purposes in the midst of problems.
