Further update: My daughter has been getting stronger, with the good care of Boulder City Hospital. It turns out, though, that what happens when you are released from a hospital varies state by state, and Nevada has no legal obligation to help you if you are unable to help yourself. Or it is at least much more difficult to prove that you need the help than it is in California, NY, NJ, Virginia, etc.

All I was given was a list of Clarke County services, all back in Las Vegas, which Julia has left because of the vibe there. It is much quieter here, and in fact a cabbie told me Boulder City is considered the safest city in America. But Vegas has the services, because it needs them.

Just keep praying if you have the desire to. I am stymied and don’t know what I will do if they release her today (Saturday). I can’t take care of her myself, if she would even consent to move back to my apartment.

Many, many thanks for your continuing help and concern. I am far from home but never far from FR.

Praise God.

Heading out to Mass right now and will be saying prayers of Thanksgiving for Julia.

Ty for the updatem so glad you went to see her. I’m sure you both are. Glad she is getting stronger.in my state the hospital will not release you if you live alone without a plan. They let you name 3 rehab places and they find you a bed.

Can Health and Human Services help you out with answers?? Glad to hear the improvement, but you need long time help. Prayers continue. If you hear ringing in your ears -— it is just me.
