Elissa Is Packing For Duke....Long Term
Elissa and my wife fly out tomorrow on 1 way tickets to stay at Duke Medical Center until getting a lung transplant or the new medication (triple-combination modulator elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (Trikafta™) kicks in. We are planning a 6 month all inclusive stay in North Carolina. I will get to drive it a few days after they get settled in and will bring a boat load of things they couldn't fly with.
This has been a 2 year process to get us scheduled for Duke. I kinda have feelings I can't describe. Our house is full of her friends tonight and we are happy to have a packed house.

Good luck, and I hope things work out for you.
I’m not specifically religious, and I can’t be there - but imagine us sitting across a table, holding hands, and praying for the blessings of a higher power. That is what is in my heart.

Gary, thank you for sharing this journey with us. This is certainly better than what you shared with us 2 years ago. I hope everything goes per the plan, meds or operation. I’m hoping for a happy outcome for Elisa.
