Ok, sisters, the finances are starting to get messy! DHS has declined Mom and Dad with an additional penalty of 7 MORE months! I took the papers back to Chad (I got them yesterday--they were mailed before Chad had the conference with them!---jerks!) Anyway, he was saying they can't do that---start the penalty when Mom and Dad applied. We'll see. Worse case senerio is that each of you will have to mail me a check each month to pay for their care. I DREAD the mess that this could/would bring, but I figure DHS does whatever DHS wants to do. Anyway, just a heads-up on what might be coming down the pike. They can also take the house after something happens to both of them, too. I'll let you know something when I know something. I wish it was 'easy' and settled, but it obviously is NOT going to go down easily!

On another note, I went to see Mom and Dad today. They were both laying down and were tired. Mom didn't know much of what was going on, but she looked good. Dad was confused--he said they'd been locked in the basement, but he looked good and seemed to be ok. He said something about how cute Jeremy's baby was and her red hair, etc. It wasn't a bad visit, but they were SO sleepy and it made me that way, too! LOL! Ok, Love you all, Jeanie
