Just found out the social worker unbeknownst to us had been in contact with the estranged daughter to where we are fighting them to continue Tony’s care to speciality all the while they’ve been communicating with the estranged daughter who doesn’t en like her father and she’s been letting them do whatever they want. I just found out and I’m very upset. We were set to appeal and now with her consent she’s having him moved far from me and I’m so stressed out right now. I can’t ven believe this

Thanks same here

As you aren't married, I suppose legally she is his next of kin. This is a good reminder to everyone to make a Power of Attorney so that the person you WANT to make decisions for you is legally allowed to do so.

Armani, can you not contact Tony's daughter to impress upon her that you're doing everything in your power to assist her father's survival and his eventual quality of life. I know she's hostile but, surely she must see that, father or not, a man's life is as stake.

If she has POA but is disinterested in using that for his benefit what would you have to lose by appealing to her for your continuing fight for hospital care. Surely she wouldn't use her own father as a pawn to proving she has the upper hand............. ??

As I said before she interrogated me like a criminal then hung up with me after I answered her questions. I’ve asked my dad to step in seeing as I don’t want her rude and negative attitude causing me more stress. No one has official POA but I’m looking into it again since the father said he would give it to me and she said she would now since she doesn’t want any responsibility, neither of them do, especially financially so they wouldn’t mind me being it NOW since they know I’ll incur the debt. I’ve been paying for things anyway and never asked anyone for money at all. As long as I have it I can continue to make the best health decisions I can. I dont put it passed her because she is bitter and spiteful.

OK, well if Tony's father has power of attorney and is happy to defer to you then you can continue to ignore her and carry on doing what you're doing with the appeal etc. But make this situation absolutely clear to hospital staff.

I am so sorry to hear this. You have been amazing and still are. What does Tony's dad think. You have so much support here and if the mountain could be shoved it would be. Xxxxxx
