So basically Mom is, at worst, going to be home in the next couple of days?


Dad, I know you're concerned - I really do. But as long as kiddo is in a competent adult's care, there's no emergency. Also, Mom absolutely does NOT need a physician to sign anything at all. If Mom is being committed against her will that will take a court hearing - but other than that? Doc has no say in terms of whether s/he thinks Mom is capable of taking care of herself or the child. It's opinion, nothing more.

I'm sorry - I know this isn't what you want to hear. But realistically, Mom's going to get kiddo back as soon as she gets out of the hospital.
