Michelle,
If you would, please ask him if he has the name of a person for me to contact 
over here.  I would give it one more try.

  Ok, so she was denied acceptance  due to hospital not having the
  procedures/facilities to properly treat her (which dad said what the #1
  reason for anyone being denied because they offer such specialized services.
  They also operate some burns hospitals). Sounds as if they think she needs
  more than they offer.

  Do you want my dad to pursue this to the best of his ability or do you want
  to drop it?
