my dad

Dad has been in hospital for some eight weeks now, ill enough from all accounts to be unlikely to recover and he may have weeks rather than month left to live.
Both his wish and mum's is that he spend whatever time he has left at home, newly bought bed awaits him, but the biggest obstacle is geeting the hospital to agree that he's stable enough to leave!
The daily trip to the hospital is definitely telling on mum's health and it seems to me on humanitarian grounds alone that he should come out as soon as possible, but that is proving more difficult than anticipated.
The latest is that he might come home on thursday but that seems to be subject to various caveats. I hope that when thursday comes he will go home for his final weeks/months.
