I'm glad your happy and I know you didn't ask but this doc seems a little "off" to me. Logistically, are they holding his bed until he goes back? What about the insurance? Will they pick up the tab again, knowing he was ok to go home for 3 days?
I guess I don't get the point of his story- his daughter had a life jacket on and him swimming next to her. Did he offer to come along home with you and sleep in a spare room?
I sincerely hope it works out for you.
