Dave, seems to me they won't let him out of the hospital if they feel he's still a danger to himself and/or others. When I was in, there were people that had been there for almost a month and they hadn't been as bad as Wittlebee's husband.
Wittle, maybe you need to talk to someone at the hospital about this. Maybe there's a next step if keeping him in that particular hospital isn't possible.
Sky is right. You need to make long-range plans. His recovery won't be quick and easy and you need to keep your kids and yourself safe.
Keep up posted, ok?
