As long as your mom is healthy and can make a drive like that (4 hours total), OK. If that might be a little beyond her capabilities, spring for the Uber or other taxi service. I know my own Mom wouldn't be capable of a drive like that.

weather is clearing up, mom is headed up shortly, will stay the night at nearby hotel (we as a family know it well, right across the street), and bring dad some supplies he wants. dad's eating pretty good (they do have good food, having spent almost a week there myself a few years ago) and watching TV. i'll call him again shortly.
i'm guessing they keep him a few more days, to get the pneumonia to clear up a bit. |

Another tip, if your dad has any heart trouble history they probably have him on a salt free diet. I smuggle salt packets to my wife whenever she is in the hospital. |

Yeah, they do that at our local hospital here. Actually the food there is more like ordering off a menu at a restaurant. Pretty good food, too. I pig out at the cafeteria on Mondays when I volunteer. We eat for free and I have a great breakfast and lunch. Had eggs Benedict this week.

A few years back, the head of the Dietary dept at our hospital was a graduate of the Culinary Arts Institute. On Thanksgiving and Christmas he would put out a Prime Rib/Turkey buffet for anyone who had to work on the holiday and their spouses. Better than any restaurant in our small town. |

dad of course has a TV to watch, his only complaint is that it doesn't have BIG10 network, so he couldn't watch the Michigan basketball game today.
it's ok dad, the game will go on without you. they play again tomorrow, about 10am MT. he's likely to be on the road at that point. he'll call me for updates. |

But they have like 4 or 5 ESPN channels. It seems they decide the channels by surveying doctors who are mostly men. |
