Joy was freed from confinement late Friday afternoon. After meeting with the home health care provider, Joy traveled with me to run several errands and tolerated that activity quite well. Once we were back at the hotel for the evening, it took a couple hours to get meds and insulin supplies reorganized, pump/feed set up going and adapting to a new schedule. To say she was tired would be an understatement.
The weekend will be for R&R , a few more errands, maybe some Duke baseball for Wayne and dinner with transplant friends on Sunday afternoon. It will be a BYOC (bring your own cans) for Joy. Actually, this time around she can eat liquid or soft pureed foods for comfort or pleasure while relying 100% on the cans for nourishment so maybe we can allow her to sit at the table and eat some dessert.
She has a clinic appointment for lab work on Monday and hopefully will be ready to hop in the family truckster on Tuesday for a couple days ride home.
Our next return trip to Durham will be in late June. We have been here in January, February, March, April but somehow will manage to miss May. How could that happen? Maybe I should not jinx that!
More to come..............

Dear Joy and Wayne
We are happy to hear that Joy was well enough to be discharged. Things are looking up. Do enjoy the dinner out today. Joy have a dessert that is fabulous on the taste buds.
Please have an uneventful trip back home.
Love
Kitty and Bill
Joy & Wayne,
Glad to hear you busted outta that joint! It's long overdue- right? Enjoy your freedom and have a safe trip home.
Love to all,
Steve & Trina
