Driving To Duke

Gwyneth has appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday at Duke, and we were originally planning on driving to Durham tomorrow. But, Tricia hasn't been doing well the past several weeks, and the past few days have been worse, so we're driving to Durham tonight and heading to the hospital early tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, the transplant team can't fit us into their schedule, so she'll have to go to the ER (yeah, doesn't make much sense to us either). As I mentioned, Tricia's been having some issues for a while now, and she's certain that something is wrong, but nothing has shown up on any tests or scans so far. We're hoping that she'll get the attention she needs and that they'll be able to diagnose whatever is wrong.

Thanks for your prayers as we travel.

    Praying for you as I head to the land of nod (it's almost 1 a.m. here).

    Hoping that they take Tricia's concerns seriously and that they work out what's going on and that Gwyneth's appointments go well too.

    Safe travel to Durham.
