Surgery is now scheduled for 12:30 PM Monday, December 3, 2007.
Hopefully, the 4-5 hour surgery can be done with several laproscopic incisions, then begin her recovery with light liquids and pureed food prior to being discharged in a few days. The feeding tube will remain until we return in January or February.
No more nightly tube feeding? Significant reduction in insulin injections? No more acid reflux?
Joy has a bronchoscopy schedule for December 11 th and pulmonary clinic on December 12 th. Will she get a release then? A lot of bridges yet to cross. One of our new friends was packed and planned on returning home after her clinic visit yesterday but bronch results indicated problems and she was re-admitted. Her daughter seemed a "little down". Ya think?
Joy will really need our prayers for this one!

You can count on prayers from Pioneer. I'll remind the church Sunday. Almost weekly someone asks about Joy's recuperation. One more big hurdle. You both can make it!!

Dear Joy and Wayne
We are happy to learn that the long awaited surgery has been scheduled. Our thoughts and prayers will be focused on Joy during this next big step on her road to recovery. It didn't work out for you two to be home for Thanksgiving, maybe this time you will be home long before Christmas.
Love
Kitty and Bill
Dear Joy & Wayne
At last a date for surgery, you will all be in our prayers. But hope to hear that you will be returning to Illinois for Christmas, although it is snow so maybe North Carolina isn't too bad weather wise. Our prayer are with you. Love, Betty & Audrey
Hi Joy & Wayne,
