We have not had any significant developments or changes this past week but we wanted to keep you current.
Joy had her clinic visit Tuesday and everything is progressing. O2 levels are up and lung function has increased slightly. She will be having CT Scans next week of her lungs and back. They are trying to determine the cause of her back pain. A nerve block may be indicated if warranted. She saw the stomach surgeon and we are waiting for a call to schedule a date for the surgery, probably the middle of October. Once she has recovered from that surgery, we should be able to return home. Otherwise she continues to exercise on a daily basis at the Center for Living, receive tube feedings 14 hours per night and has weekly clinic visits and tests.
We will keep you posted if anything new develops. Joy thanks everyone who remembered her birthday. She even received a must unusual gift of a camel (stuffed). She really enjoyed my sketch of a birthday cake but it went up in flames when I lit the candles. What a shame, it looked like it would have been delicious.

Dear Wayne and Joy,
Happy belated birthday Joy! Would of loved to have seen that lit cake! It is a blessing to read 'home' is mentioned in your blog as a possibility in the very near future. We continue to pray for your recovery Joy and your continued strength and love Wayne. We bet you never thought Nurse Wayne would be on your resume. Keep up the super progress Joy with all your exercises and such. Hug each other - think of it is a long distant hug from us!
Love, Dave and Jan
Once again, we're glad to hear about Joy's steady progress. Wayne, it sounds like you're "chef" abilities continue to impress. That must have been an amazing bday cake. As always, we appreciate you're taking the time to keep us up to date. Be sure to get lots of rest tonight. Tomorrow's a big day with PSU at the BigHouse. Take care!
Love to all,
Steve & Trina
