this Against Joy's wishes, she was discharged this afternoon and will return to clinic next Tuesday to meet with the surgeon to discuss a date, hopefully soon. They promise any delay is for medical reasons and not scheduling. The rejection and infection issue has complicated this somewhat but not to the extent that they cannot do the surgery. The doctors are 100% certain that it is medically necessary due in part to Joy having the worst case of acid reflux they have seen. If she did not have the surgery, the reflux would continue to infect and destroy her lungs and drastically impact her survival. Six to nine months of the three antibiotics should control the MAC infection mentioned a couple days ago.
So, the Thanksgiving trip looks doubtful but she is adamant that as Dolly Parton sings, "Trim the tree and wrap the presents, turn the Christmas music on, this Christmas I'll be home with bells on."

Mom,
Just make sure that the straws are front and center when you finally get home and sit by your christmas tree, as they ARE every year.
Love,
