yeah, this was very frustrating. but he was in
yesterday conditionally on them being able to release
him if any health issues arrises that the facility
can't handle and i still have to get one more blood
test for the halfway house. the detox unit told me
that if he made it through the detox and their 28 day
24/7 they'd get their clinic doctor to write a order
for the heppititus b and c test for the yearlong 24/7
halfway house we lined up for him.
having heard nothing he has went through the 1st day.
here no news is good news for at least a week or two.
