The past few days and weeks have been a little like the character in the movie "Groundhog Day". Very repetitive. Gets up, throws up, takes a lot of meds and narcotics, back to bed for rest (doctors request) gets up for a couple hours in the evening and back to bed. Back brace and narcotics have seemed to help back pain slightly but we don't really know if that means the fracture is healing or if the pain meds are disguising the problem.
Regardless, conventional wisdom tells us that we need to make the mid September Duke clinic appointments / procedures soooooooooooooooooo, somehow we will get her there. Blood tests have indicated a need to increase one of her anti-rejection meds several times so we do not know if the pain meds are impacting their effectiveness or if she has some rejection issues which would be the major reason for our visit.
So in a couple weeks, we load the family truckster and head for North Carolina. I am sure she will enjoy the trip!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the latest updates. Glad to hear Joy's pain is reduced... sorry it's not gone for good. At least you have a trip to Duke to look forward to! That seems to be a lucky spot for the Bulla clan. Hope Joy is feeling better soon. Have a safe trip.
Love to all,
Steve & Trina
Dear Joy
We are very sorry to hear that your back pain is still on going. Bones sometime take a long time to heal. It sounds like you get a small amount of relief from the narcotics.
We will continue to pray for your health to improve and for healing to speed up in your back.
Wayne thank you for the update. When It comes time to go to Duke maybe Joy's back will have significantly improved. Is flying an option to minimize the travel discomfort. Just a thought to consider.
Love
Kitty & Bill
