Sunday Night Update

Today was a virtual repeat from yesterdays update in that meds continue, nausea continues and Joy still feels like she has the flu . Hopefully her doctors will return from Easter weekend refreshed with some answers.

A "new" transplant friend died yesterday after a very difficult struggle from lung transplant surgery near the end of last year. She was in her mid 20's, weighed 50lbs and died in her sleep after going into a coma a few days ago. She recently checked herself out of the hospital and gave up on her fight and wanted to die in her own home. She has had an extremely difficult journey. That is 3 of our transplant friends that have died since July.

Stay tuned.

Hello again Joy & Wayne
We've just learned of your latest adventures in medicine. Sorry to hear your back in the hospital. But at least your infection issues are being cared for. Hope your stay in the joint doesn't last much longer. Get well soon!
Love you,
Steve & Trina
