The search for a new place to get physical therapy

About a week ago Froedtert Hospital began a search for another hospital to take Mary for her physical therapy because Froedtert could not supply the type and amount of therapy that Mary needed. Without development of strength if the Leukemia comes back Mary would not have the strength to stand the treatments. They thought that Saint Mary's Hospital on the east side of Milwaukee had just the program to satisfy Mary's needs. It would be designed completely around Mary's needs and might last anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on the patient's recovery. Some doctors from Saint Mary's came to Froedtert to see Mary and evaluate her. She failed their evaluation. It seems that Saint Mary's had severely changed the program and would now only take patients up to 3 weeks which will not be long enough for Mary to recover all the strength she needs. Mary is known as a sub-acute patient. So.... if any of you know a local sub-acute hospital near a bar please give us a call. We may have learned of a rehab center in West Allis connected with the hospital there that seems to fit the bill. We will let you know in the next blog if she will soon be moving or if the evil evaluators will have their way with her. Tune in, think positive thoughts, pray hard, and see how many times we have to rewrite this plot.

Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and comments.
