Mom is improving. The intestinal blockage is easing. She's now on a liquid diet. If she continues to improve, she'll probably be discharged in the next 24 hours.
My dad was going to be released from Plano Specialty Hospital to home, but now that Mom's in the hospital, I've nixed that plan. I have dad being evaluated by 2 different skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes). I'm praying that the facility closest to Mom and Dad's house will accept him so that he'll be very close to home and that will make it easy for mom to visit him.
Once there, dad will receive the rest of his IV antibiotics and will receive all of his therapies (speech, physical and occupational) so that he can regain his strength and return home. Dad will get a PIC-line inserted tomorrow. He's worried about it, but it's a very routine thing. I don't think it will be a big deal.
Must go sleep. Because I only slept 14 hours last night. ha

My Mom had a PIC line, no big deal. She was in Plano Specialty Care Hospital too, before going to the nursing home.
Probably a good idea for your dad to go into skilled nursing while your mom gets better and stronger.
I pray for your strength every day because you definitely need it to handle everything you have going.
