After a one month hospitalization my son-n-law is coming back home. He was only home for 3weeks before having to return with an infection. He was injured on Jan 12,2007 and spent 5 1/2 months in the hospital. The three weeks he was home was so horrible that I am really scared for him to return home again. Now he has a stage 4 bed sore with a wound vac and will not be able to get up to his wheelchair. We tried to get him into a specialty hospital for wound care but the insurance would not allow it. He would have had to go to a medicaid nursing home bed. Well wish us luck.
