Ball of Confusion

Wow! That's about all I can say about today. I don't think I've ever been so confused in my life. I can't begin to write about the experience we had today at the hospital. Mass confusion, disorganization, lack of communication, pride, and lies. Man, what a mess. Whatever your thinking, it was worse. As a family we have seen a lot over the last year. But never have I been more disappointed with the way things have gone as I was today. To top it all off, I don't think we made a whole lot of progress.

The good news is that dad's doing ok. We stayed up past midnight last night playing old Elvis concert clips on You Tube and telling stories. I'm surprised they didn't call security on us. It got pretty loud.

I pray that tomorrow starts out better than today and hope the medical staff can put pride aside and work together. I have a feeling dad may be coming home tomorrow. I'm thinking about checking him out of the hospital. There comes a point when sitting in the hospital can do more harm than good. I realize this is a difficult situation for the doctors and the medical staff and some of the inefficiences are frustrating to them as well. I don't necessarily think the problems today were the fault of a single person, but yet a small glimpse into a much bigger problem.

Ding! Ding!
Round two tomorrow.
