Dad got moved out of Acute Care...

Since Dad is no longer considered Actue Care, they've moved him down to the 3rd floor. Pace is less hectic for the nurses.

Brother initially said he wanted to be in charge of finding long term care for Mom. He wanted Mom to sign over medical Power of Attorny. Mom has had enough of Brother and told him to look after it all. Big mistake. I blew a gasket. Brother told Mom he wasn't going to call me. He would give her information and then she would pass it on to me. I said for decisions like this I want to be involved directly. Mom's in a difficult place since Brother and I don't see or talk to each other. She had a melt down and hung up the phone.

She called later to say she told Brother I would be looking after it. Not really my intention. I just want to have communication. I knew he would be leaving me out. And leaving Mom out as well. I explained that I didn't want to take this away form Brother. It was important to him. We all need to contribute, in some way. This was his. I told Mom I wanted him to look after the research and arrangements as long as he could communicate with me. Email would be fine. He wouldn't even have to talk to me. She called him and told him. I emailed him and told him. I told him we needed him (people will say anything at times to make it all smooth). He called Mom an said no. He emailed me back (surprisingly) and said no. Mom doesn't want anything to do with him anymore.

I'll work with Mom to get the 3 places the Hospital needs to apply for Long Term Care.
