Susan -

I'm praying... He'll make it home.

I also understand your uncle's actions. I'd do the same thing. I don't know where in Tennessee or Michigan they're going from/to - but it's not that long of a drive, unless you're talking Memphis to the UP.

There's numerous factors - insurance requirements, preferred doctor, feeling inherently comfortable waiting, fear of an unknown environment, etc.

Wishing him the best.

Tom

ps - out of curiosity - Michigan-Tennessee-Houston? I was raised in Michigan and still have family there. My parents live in Tennessee. I live in Houston.
