[74-911]

6 months later and the worse case scenario has happened.

Per his wifes blog: They just moved him from the hospital to a nursing home as doctors say no more can be done for him. He is in a persistent vegative state but not on a respirator. Health insurance is paying for nursing home for now but will not continue. They will not continue paying for skilled nursing care because he shows no signs of improvement. Wife is appying for medicare/medicaid but to qualify she must essentially be destitute and this doesn't happen overnight. As his wife says, how am I supposed to live with a 6 month old baby if I have to be destitute to get him into a nursing home. (She is apparently consulting with attorneys who specialize in these type cases but who knows?).

The pressure and stress his wife is under is mind-boggling. She is a very religious person but several of her friends think she has gone off the deep end re: her continuous conversations with God.

And to make matters worse, apparently the wife and his parents are no longer on good terms. Unfortunately, this appears to be turning into another Terry Shiavo? case.

If you are a religious person, pray for them. They really need it.
