Great news, everyone: Scott is coming home!!
His doctor has approved his discharge home Monday 7/23 at 9am from UPMC. Yes, home. No place in New York is considered an Acute Care Facility so instead of a rehabilitation center or nursing home Dad will be living with his parents in Pittsford, NY until he is well enough to go back to his apartment in Fairport. Dad says he doesn't plan to stay at his parents' long; he's really going to focus on getting his strength back ASAP.
The insurance company has approved a visiting nursing service to tend to Dad while he is back in Rochester. His wound will require re-dressing daily, along with check-ups.
Also, the insurance company has approved his transfer from Passavant in Pittsburgh to Pittsford, NY by ambulance! ...for only a thirty dollar co-pay. Allie and I had planned to pick him up on Monday morning.
So right now the whole family is excited to welcome him home and see him much more often. I'd say he'll be getting exponentially better now that he will be out of the hospital. He'll have much more opportunity to walk around, review emails, take phone calls and appreciate this nice Rochester weather we've been having.
Thank you for everyone's continued support and efforts these past.. wow.. 3 months!
