Hi, boy, I sure do need help!
My brother is in another state in a nursing home and has ALS. Cant' walk or sit up or stand
by himself, but not on PEG or vent or any breathing things.
He has just been approved for SS and Medicaid where he's at; and just got approved in the
state I want to move him to (mine)
Also, the nursing home he is in is really crummy, and I don't feel like I can leave him there
even a few more days, but I may have to. They wrenched his shoulder really bad a couple
of times moving him, so now he just stays in the bed and doesn't want them to move him
to his "chair" because the pain is excruciating. That's a whole other story. I've already talked
to nursing director there, etc, already have an xray, I'm trying to get MRI and for him to be
seen by a doctor but they aren't going for it.
MEANWHILE.
Logistically, I am going to go there. I will need to get him to the airport and wait and then
on a plane. Then to the nursing home or hospital here.
I may not be able to take him right from the nursing home to the airport because they
are so bad, I am going to go there and we may need to go to the emergency room first.
I'm just overwhelmed with the logistics!
