No news is good news....right?

DH has applied for a transfer on compassionate grounds because of my health issues that began this fall. We were managing okay until his Mom found out that she has a serious heart condition. She cannot help me with the kids anymore to the extent that I need help to recover. So, it's been almost two weeks since we submitted he application and we haven't heard a thing. I really hope the old saying that 'No news is good news' is true in this case. **fingers crossed**
