hi Washbe...I was just getting ready to say that my guess would be that they keep him. I work in acute care and have had many patients in this very situation. The social workers and the medical staff work closely together and try to get it figured out.
I'm glad that he is staying where he is....we have a number of "residents" in this same situation. They all have a very special place in my heart. As do their loved ones - I certainly "get" the circumstances. I wish that I could say that this is an uncommon situation but it's not.
I'm glad that you are taking care of "you"....this disease of addiction sure does teach you about doing that, doesn't it?
Glad that your boy is in a safe place for now....sending all of you prayers.
