January 17th

Well, It's Saturday and DJ was admitted to Health South Rehabilitation late Friday evening. I wish his case worker had transferred him there in the beginning. There has been a lot of things "overlooked". However, I hope that his recovery will soon make tremendous progress.
Well, to make a long story short... DJ's case worker has been annoying. DJ requested to have a hospital bed delivered to mom's. He had been really uncomfortable (in pain) in a regular bed, unable to move his legs. The home health care nurse suggested that the Dr just prescribe him an order to move to a rehab facility instead. It took 2 1/2 days to get approval to have DJ moved. I think DJ was getting jipped of the proper care not being in a rehab facility,(personal opinion) but i guess time will tell. The case worker didn't really want to coroperate....so DJ & Rachel had to get a lawyer invovled... after that, there was no problem. It is strange how lawyers make things happen and in just a matter of hours instead if days.
During the ordeal of getting DJ transferred... the case worker "forgot" to order a van to transport DJ for mom's to rehab, a sedan arrived to pick him up. Mom and Dad told them to send the car back and bring a vehicle that could transport him in a stretcher. So finally many hours later, the vehicle arrived. After the assistants moved DJ from the bed to the stretcher, the stretcher dropped! DJ shouted!!! I couldn't believe it when I was told that the stretcher fell. I still can't figure out how that happened. After all of the drama... mom, dad, Rachel & her sister, followed DJ down to Panama City, to be sure everything would be alright, especially after their day. By the time mom and dad got to bed... they said it was 2 am.
These long days and short nights are going to catch up on them soon...

DJ told me that his drainage port in his leg started to pour blood while he was in the bathroom today. He said it took his nurses a while to get him all fixed up again, they said he would have to stay in the bed all day. They were concerned that he might need another transfusion today, I guess they checked his blood count early this morning as he complained of dizziness... and then after he lost so much blood with the leg they were fairly certain that he would need one. That meant a transport to the local hospital for the transfusion. They tested him again while we were visiting and the nurse came back later and said that it was actually better than it was that morning. I call that an answer to prayer.
Well, I plan to go back and visit tomorrow. I should be adding more updates soon.

Thanks for the prayers...
