Prayers for my Dad

[gja1000]

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear all of this. It is so hard when family doesn't agree on things and it sounds like your brother is being very selfish. It is just so hard to manage aging parents along with aging selves!

So sorry that you're dealing with this. Kansas is the same way. If you sell something they can come back and take it somehow to pay for their nursing home payments. I'm not sure how you get around it. Your brother will have to pay fair market value for the house I'm afraid to be able to buy it. We're here if you need us. Hugs!!!

Well Dad may not get out tomorrow. He had different nurses today and they never even got him out of bed. He was suppose to do therapy every day and sit in a chair. They were suppose to take out his cathiter today too. He ended up getting 1 pt of blood his count was down. But that is normal. My brother stopped in to see him after he got off work and found out they had not done anything forhim all day except for the blood. SO he was upset. He waited around for the dr to come in but he never did. Even though he was there. So he had to talk to him on the phone. He just blew my brother off. That's what I get for being so far away and having to work. But with gas being what it is it really sucks....
Okay. well i hope to have better news tomorrow.

Sorry, Linda. Try not to worry about your Dad and let your brother handle it. You know that he's doing the best that he can and he understands that you can't stay there for long because of responsibilities at home. I know that's hard but you need to take care of Linda as well. Hugs, GF!!!

I'm sorry you have to go through all this Linda. I know how hard it is. Your brother just needs to understand that the house was your dad's and an investment for his future....not your brothers. Both of mine gave me hard times too, I guess it just comes with the territory being the only daughter, but it sucks.

This is too bad, Linda! What alternative does your brother have to offer? It doesn't sound like he has any! It is too bad he will lose the house, but this is such a common thing. My ex MIL went through the same thing, but didn't have to sell the house. They might have taken the money owed from the sale of the house after she passed on.

I have the papers to fill out and have to find out how to put my house in Jessica's name. I would like to have control over it, but I have no idea what the laws are. My union will help me for free, so I betteer get to it.

I sure hope your Dad feels better soon. That's really the only important thing.

Linda....any update on your Dad? Has he been released to rehab yet? My prayers are with you!
