Sorry, but I should have posted about DHS yesterday. DHS called to tell me that we had LOST the appeal and would receive the paperwork probably today. She said we both won because she'd moved Mom's date back to April 21st instead of April 29th---I told her not really because it was an $8000 swing for us. Her reply: Oh, my! Yeah, well, don't get me started. She actually called to ask me some questions about Dad's application---he's due to be on vendor payment starting Aug 21st. I thought she was going to say NO to that and I was going to lose it. I told her we'd paid for 19 months now at the tune of nearly $8000 a month---that's insane! Anyway, I'll have a figure for you all probably sometime before the end of Aug. I want to see exactly how much Medicaid will pay on Dad's before I give you a final figure! Fun, fun, fun! NOT! Love you all, Jeanie
