Joy has been released from the hospital after receiving IV's and meds to target the fungus infection in her esophagus although she really doesn't feel any better than when we arrived. They say the tablet form of the IV drug Diflucan should eventually resolve the problem. We will see. Questions remain as to the treatment of the slow emptying esophagus and stomach issue so will have to address that when we return in mid-April. They did not feel they could address that issue now given the massive infection issue. It would have been fantastic if they would have identified this infection when she was in the emergency room in Illinois but, I guess that is why we chose to come to Duke. They identified the problem quickly.
So, we leave for home tomorrow and will get home in time to unpack, regroup, re-pack and return to Durham in a couple weeks. But again, it is what it is and we bought into that long ago.
Weather is beautiful with temps in the upper 70's and low 80's and trees and flowers are blooming in typical southern spring splendor.
