Martha's social worker contacted us this morning because they are starting to work on discharge planning, though she does not believe it will happen today or tomorrow. Unfortunately Martha's strength and endurance have diminished so she is not strong enough for Conway Rehab. They hope that time in a skilled nursing facility with a shorter amount of rehab per day will help her develop enough strength to move up to the rehab facility. We discussed a place in Conway we are familiar with and we will let everyone know when we know for certain.

Amanda has been suffering increasing pain since Friday so that's why we haven't posted more details about Martha lately. We are in frequent touch with Amanda's doctor and nurses to take care of her situation, however, so we are hopeful for a solution soon (hopefully without another hospital trip).
