Can i demand to only be in the hospital 2 days rather than a week

Your chances of a quick release will depend on what treatments the Dr. has in mind. If it is just to get IV antibiotics, 2 or 3 days to get levels could be enough (but it still just depends on how it works out). I think your first step is to get an exact list of what treatments are planned for the stay and go from there. One bit of advice: get admitted at the start of the week because it is tough to get released on a weekend.

EXCELLENT advice, I totally agree. You have a much better chance of getting out of there in a few days if you admit on Mon or Tuesday, but a Thursday admit will likely see you in well through the weekend. Weekends at the hospital are just less than helpful.

In addition getting any home health set up, delivery of meds etc must be taken into consideration with the weekend.

We have our appointment in a few hours, so we will see what they say...
you guys are awesome!!!!! Sometimes my only sanity in this life God has chosen for us:)
