[QUOTE="ksm, post: 766240, member: 12511"] Today makes 2 weeks that my granddaughter has been in rehab. The first Sunday they are there they are not allowed to visitors. So on her second Sunday I took her son and we drove the 3 hours to for a two-hour visit. He was very excited to see her and the visit went pretty good except for having to leave and he didn't want to leave her. Because of the distance I've decided no more visits as we have to pick her up on her last day which is now two weeks away. The facility can have 12 women there at a time they each have one roommate and have a private bath. It was very clean and organized. All the women share in the housekeeping duties and fixing and cleaning up after meals. The other clients there seem very friendly and had nice things to say about her. The plan now is for her to go to an Oxford House for women and children but she will not take Alex full time but will gradually increase visits with him at the Oxford House. If she gets in to be in a Women and Children's House to begin with she will be about 3 blocks from his head start school. That would be nice if she could walk over after school and have him for a few hours. I still have a few concerns. It scares me for when she comes back to her hometown. She has seemed very willing to keep old friends in the past. And seems to be on their beck and call when they need a ride. I'm hoping she won't try to use her car as it needs brake work. And of course she will need to get a job first to work on the car and pay for her weekly rent. On a good note, she has been attending church on Sunday mornings with the other women. (I think it's required) It sounds like it's a non-denominational church in a small town. She showed me her Bible that she was given and she had used fabric to make a cover for it and I noticed other women had decorated their Bibles. She told me she plans on being baptized this coming Sunday. I told her I think that could be a symbolic way to start her new life. She mentioned finding a church in our community that would feel like she could fit in. I know of one Church that has meetings for people in recovery that might be a possibility. Well I'm hoping for the best I'm still reluctant to think it will happen on my timeline. Ksm [/QUOTE]
