confirmed for Saturday

Dad's done an amazing amount of legwork these past few days, and today was the payoff. Mom's now confirmed for a bed at Walter Reed Medical Center's ICU, and she'll be transferred on Saturday-- probably Saturday morning. We're checked into our current digs until Saturday, anyway, so the timing works out well.

The move to Walter Reed will buy us time as we decide whether to take the home-care hospice route or the more standard, institutional hospice route. Our thanks to Dr. Ed Hayes for suggesting that we consider Walter Reed's new hospice facilities.
