District Rotary Youth Exchange Chair Maureen Considine’s Illness Update. For those of you that don’t know the specifics, Mo had a stroke that affected her ability to speak and understand language on March 22nd. She has improved slightly, but still has a long road ahead of her. It was recommended by her doctors that she go to intensive inpatient rehab for vigorous therapy regimen; unfortunately, that was not approved by her insurance. Mo’s children are now appealing the decision.  Since she is unable to go to the intensive inpatient rehabilitation, the next step is for her to transition to a skilled nursing facility. Their first choice is Panorama Rehabilitation in Olympia- but they are still waiting for Panorama to evaluate her for acceptance.  If anybody knows somebody within the administration or rehabilitation offices of Panorama Rehabilitation, the kids would greatly appreciate your assistance in reaching out to them to get her a spot there. If it doesn’t work out for Panorama, then Mo has already been accepted to Mother Joseph’s rehabilitation in Olympia.  Gabe: (530) 966-0966 or gcortelyou@outlook.com or Rachel (Honora) (360) 584-4357 or honoracc@gmail.com
