Update.. they are keeping him longer.. it's going to be roughly 2 more weeks..

Any signs of improvement?
That's not all that much of an extension of a stay. Oy, the bills!

Any signs of improvement?

Yeah, he is showing signs of improvement to his memory. Which is good news.

[Skippy]

Hiiiii everyone! I forced myself from bed to say hi to you all! I saw the card and I'm really touched. I realize now I have such special friends that have made me feel so wonderful!Perhaps it's time to write a song on my autoharp or guitar.
I love you all! thank you so much for carin' for this ol' fool.

^ Talked to Skippy a few moments ago.. he's with a speech and memory therapist at the moment... They are letting his family release him on Friday as long as he see's an Canadian doctor ASAP and get's treatment.. as we all think it's best he comes home to his country (canada) for treatment.

[Sagan]

Good. It's best for him to be in a familiar place, and with loved ones by his side. I'm no expert, but I trust the healthcare system up there to be better suited to help in his recovery, and rehabilitation

Yeah.. for awhile they told us they wouldn't release him for two weeks and he'd be stuck in the united states alone. Everyone in his family (including myself) finally convinced them he'd do better in Canada. They are still hesitant to release him saying he's "medically unstable".

Now his family will all be with him supporting him and hopefully stay outpatient (with supervision 24/7 of course) until he's healed and back up doing things.

[Skippy]

Im gonna be released soon, they just dont seem to think im safe for release but i feel fine! ppl are gonna bug for it tho...bvut tbh i wonder if we shouldnt cuz a hospital wouldnt say to keep me for no reason...?

[Sagan]

Skippy that's horrible. How do they have any right to keep you there and not let you go home. That's absurd! I'm so sorry you are being treated this way Skip. I really wish there were something I could do to help. If they are keeping you because of your health even that's wrong I thought we were aloud to refuse medical service if we wanted to here in the us. At least if that is their concern, let you go to a hospital in Alberta. That's messed up. I'm sorry Skip
