Don't let them put him in a nursing home until you know they have tried Rehab & everything else possible. My Husband is 71 has pd & alhiemers, has a heart condition , & has had 7 major strokes & many minor ones & is a Diabetic. He just got out of the hospital 2weeks ago after being in the hospital / rehab for 34 days, When the drs. put him in the hospital He couldn't walk nor talk. He didn't even know who I was. They kept telling me I would never be able to bring him home . That He would have to be put in a Nursing home , with 24 hr care. Not so. He was put in the hopital because He had a stroke, his 7th major stroke, phenewomia & pd was so bad. But after rehab & lots of Prayers. He is home with me now. He is able to walk, talk , got to the bathroom walk up steps feed himself & goes to Church. He knows Me now & most of the people at Church. GOD has worked Mircales in our life. He even stays home by himself while I work. GOD IS SO GOOD. . So if the Drs in SC. won't let him be in Rehab . Then maybe you might consider bringing him to Greensboro NC. to Mosses Cone Hospital . They are wonderful here. But PLEASE don't put him in a Nursing Home.
