I spoke with the grant contact person and she is sending the packet out today. I will put in the official request for Kanga to be transferred to our preferred hospital tomorrow (they didn't have any beds last night but have 3 patients scheduled for discharge tomorrow).
Tonight I'm going to try and get my house clean so at least I feel in control of something.

AAAAUUUGGGHHHH! I called 3 hours ago to start the process to transfer her. Just called back to check on progress and it hasn't even been started yet because no one knew who does that. :grrr:
I refused to be pushed aside and laughed when they told me the doctor did that. Really, their doctor's are so underworked that they have time to call around and find open beds??? The nurse agreed that that didn't make sense and she kept calling up the chain until she found someone who knew the process. Great job Nurse J :nurse: Guess what, it is the responsibility of the 1st woman I spoke with (therapist D) :slap:
Nurse J is going to help her start the process and I said if I don't hear from therapist D within 45 minutes that the appropriate calls have been made, I am calling back!! I'm also going to call the new hospital and make sure that they still have a bed, I doubt they will hold it for me, but if they have a bed, maybe our private psychiatrist can call and have it held.
Meanwhile, we had out 72-hour staffing and the hospital psychiatrist (same as her 1st psychiatric hospital stay at 11 yrs) said that she understand right from wrong but does not show remorse for her actions nor an understanding of the severity or possible consequences (death) of her choices. They are going to put her on their Challenge Program which apparently is some intense therapeutic program where she loses all recreational activities until she works through the real problems -- not just parrots what she thinks will get her through the therapy and back to the tv room.
