Brrrrrr . . . . it's chilly down here today! It kind of reminds me of Vermont weather. :) I like it, but Jake wants the 90 degree weather back! He can have it--I much rather have the cooler weather.
We had to go to his formation this morning. That's all the appointments we had today. :( However, we did get to see and talk with his nurse case manager. He made the initial call to the CBWTU (to go home for good) and they didn't deny Jake--which is great news--but they haven't given the okay either. They are waiting for the PMR (patient medical request) paperwork. All we need is his primary care physician's signature (which she already has stated that she would sign). So, his nurse case manager was walking the paperwork over to her this afternoon and hopefully will have it faxed to the CBWTU by tomorrow. Hopefully. We'll see what happens. When they get the paperwork, they have 72 hours to make the final decision. So, we could learn of something either by late Thursday or by Tuesday of next week. More waiting. :( Because of a training day on Friday and because of the holiday (Columbus Day) on Monday, the whole campus/hospital is closed--so no appointments and no new information on about going home for good. :(
Once we receive the acceptance to the CBWTU, Jake will get a report date. This date, we were told, can be anywhere between 10 to 14 days from the acceptance call. We are keeping our fingers crossed, keeping our patience, and keeping our prayers flowing that they will accept Jake and that we will be home soon.
We did have highlights today--visitors!! Our good family friends, Skip and Linda, stopped by on their way up to Vermont. It was so wonderful to see them, have lunch with them, and just to be with them. :) Jake also was surprised today by a visit from the other Ginger. :) He stopped to visit on his way up to the CBWTU. It's really great to see him again too!
Fall is in the air down here in DC. Hopefully, we will be able to be home in Vermont soon to experience the beautiful Fall there.
