OT- Bekah Update

She is back home. Hopefully, she remains fever-free, so she doesn't have to
go back to the hospital so soon.

It's looking like early December will be the trip to Columbus. If it is, she
will miss Christmas, stuck in the hospital where no one is allowed in but
her parents.

Her folks have been in contact with a social worker for the hospital there,
and they are trying to get a room at the Ronald McDonald House reserved for
them. Normally, the house doesn't make reservations, and there is only
supposed to be 4 people in the room. This isn't possible, since there has to
be at least 2 other adults to stay with the 3 boys. So the social worker is
working with them to make these arrangements for a 6 week stay.

Hotels are out of the question. Most are too far away from the hospital. At
the R.M.D House, there is a security guard who will take them to and from
the hospital whenever they need to go. And the hotels are quite expensive
when you're looking at 6 weeks.

For a brief moment, an apartment was considered. Apparently, there's a place
that rents them out by the month. BUT... $600 a month for an empty room.
That's not going to work either.

So, wish everybody luck that they get the reservation, and schedules can be
worked out between the sisters to be able to rotate stays up there. Looks
like I will be "volunteered" to go up too. Ok by me. Oh, and hope that the
weather stays relatively decent for the drives back and forth.
