MY MOM HAD A STROKE ON NOVEMBER 14TH IN ARKANSAS. WHILE WE WERE ON THE PLANE ON THE 15TH. SHE HAD SUCCSESFUL BRAIN SURGERY. THIS WAS IN THE MORNING. WE DID NOT KNOW THE RESULTS UNTIL 10:00 P.M. THAT EVENING WHEN WE ARRIVED @ THE FORT SMITH AIRPORT.
WE CALLED & LEFT MESSAGES WITH OUR JOBS ON THE 15TH BEFORE WE LEFT. MY JOB WAS FINE. I ARRANGED TO HAVE FMLA LEAVE WITHOUT PAY FOR 2 WEEKS. MY WIFE'S WORK HOWEVER. DENIED HER FMLA & TOLD HER SHE HAD TO BE @ WORK IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS WEDENSDAY MORNING. MY MOM HAD JUST HAD A SIEZURE AND WAS NOT DOING WELL.JENNE CALLED HER MANAGER & THE LADY SAID IT WAS NOT HER MOM & TO SHOW UP TO WORK IMMEDIATLY. JENNE TOLD HER WHAT WAS GOING ON & THAT SHE WOULD BE BACK ON THE 29TH.
SHE THEN CALLED HER SUPERVISOR. WHO SAID HE WOULD GIVE HER UNTIL MONDAY THE 22ND TO GET BACK TO WORK. JENNE TOLD HIM MOM WAS IN BAD SHAPE & SHE WOULD BE BACK ON THE 29TH. JENNE ASKED HER BOSS WHAT IF MY MOM DIES. HE SAID SHE WOULD GET 5 DAYS BEREAVMENT. JENNE THEN ASKED IF SHE WOULD LOSE HER JOB IF SHE DID NOT COME BACK UNTIL THE 29TH. HE SAID IT WASN'T THAT EASY BUT IT WOULD BE UNPLEASENT.
WHEN WE RETURNED HOME ON THE 29TH. OUR NEIGHBOR HAD SIGNED FOR A FED-EX OVERNIGHT LETTER. IT WAS FROM JENNE'S EMPLOYER. IMPERIAL COUNTY BEHAVAVIORAL HEALTH. IT SAID SINCE SHE DID NOT RETURN TO WORK ON THE 22ND. THAT RESULTED IN AN AUTOMATIC RESIGNATION. SHE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SUPERVISOR. AFTER SOME TALKING HE SAID HE WOULD NOT RESEND THE RESIGNATION. NOW SHE HAS A MEETING WITH HR.
SHE IS A MEMBER OF THE TEAMSTERS SO THEY ARE WORKING TO HELP HER. WOW THERE SURE IS A LOT OF CARE & COMPASSION @ THE IMPERIAL COUNTY BEHAVIORIAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. NOT!!!!
MY MOM IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL IN THE REHAB WARD DOING THERAPY 4 TIMES A DAY. SHE IS DOING BETTER.
THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS IN THIS VERY TRYING TIME.
