Dad is out of Hoag--being transferred to another facility!

Another update from David:

I spoke with a Dr. Katz at Hoag today who advised that they felt that Dad was ready to be transferred to an alternate facility for his ongoing care. They are recommending a facility called “Kindred Healthcare Hospital” and he described it as an acute care skilled nursing facility. Essentially, the level of care offered is less intensive than the ICU units at Hoag but, offers a pulmonary specific care capability that demands more skilled training than the staff at Victoria can offer. He projected that it would be very likely that Dad will be in this facility for a couple of weeks before he is ready to return to Victoria.


This was from last night and indeed Dad did get moved to this facility late last night. I did not see him, as Rob is out of town and by the time he got there it was too late for me to drag the girls out (it's a school night). I did get a voicemail from David last night around 10PM that he was there and stituated, so hopefully he will continue his recovery and will be back at Victoria before long.
