Despite the numerous conversations with the insurance company, Oscar was moved last week. He is now back at Heritage Health in High Point. Thank God the transition was smooth, and he continues to be in a stable condition. For those who would like to visit, he is in room 113.

Please continue to pray for wisdom and direction as Tarsha faces all sorts of challenges regarding insurance issues, Oscar's position at American Express, Medicaid, disability, etc. Pray that God gives direction, and pray for peace and strength for both Tarsha and Griffin.

The doctors are wanting to move Oscar to a nursing home but from past experiance, this may not be the best thing for him given the severe condition he is in. If he is moved it will probably be back at Guilford, and we're not feeling great about that. The possibility for infections and temp spikes can occur at anytime. Plus, currently he's been suctioned out about every 2 hours or so, and at the nursing home he most likely will only be suctioned every 4 hours. It's mainly the insurance company that is pushing this move, and they are holding the move off until Monday. We are asking for prayer that Oscar makes some improvement so that he can remain where he is, or that a bed opens up in the Sub-acute area of Kindred. This is more of a skilled nursing facility that is within the same building. Ultimetly, we want to see Oscar healed and at home so we ask that you please pray with us.
