Ok, I got a letter today--actually two letters today----from DHS! JOY! NOT! The one said that they'd received the info that there was NO interest on the bank account and were taking that off Dad's DCO-712 form (DHS's statement about how much he's to pay)---well, no, duh! It's a non-interest bearing account---thus no interest there! The second said that Mom had served her penalty period and that Medicaid would now begin to pay as of April 29th! They alloted her the AARP premium and her $40 allowance and gave an amount to be paid to the nursing home. The only other question I have is I canceled her AARP since she has Medicaid. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems + I want to dissolve her Miller's Trust (DHS says it's still there). Hey, we're getting closer! OMG! I'm beginning to see some light at the end of this VERY long tunnel! Hope all of you have had a great weekend. Jeremy did go to the doc and did get a z-pack. He's still not feeling too good, but hopefully NOW he'll be on the mend! Love you all, Jeanie
