Arlene and Janet, I agree that we have to get a bit more aggressive with Kaiser. We have to make sure that Bill gets his infection cleared up before being moved from the hospital and that he gets more OT , PT, and more swallowing exercise. Maybe we have to register complaints with powers that be. Who is the boss of the nurses and doctors?
However, I do think it makes sense that he stays near Kaiser Sunset, in case emergencies happen. If he goes near Claremont, which I do not have problem with personally, he should have emergency plans firmly in place. Would Kaiser near Claremont, if there's any, be an option?
And Janet, thank you for offering to do research on his weight loss! Betsy, Bill's dietitian is a registered. But she was still kind of clueless. They said they need to make sure Bill is able to tolerate the increased calories without diarrhea. This risk of diarrhea is the primary reason why they have been reluctant to up his calories. We should monitor this and ask for more calories if Bill tolerates it well.
