Elissa is presently in the hospital in UT Southwestern in Dallas recovering from a bad lung infection for the last 2 weeks. Daily improvement and possibly going home on Wednesday or Thursday.
Insurance has finally agreed with Duke Medical Center for the initial evaluation, transportation, housing, transplant and 2 year follow up. Somewhere between 1.1 and 1.6 million dollars is what we were told during the negotiations.
My wife is her travel companion to duke and they fly out of DFW on October 6th and will stay 3-4 days for the initial work up then fly home and wait to find out if they will list her for transplant.
Duke states 14 days is the average wait after getting listed. We will have to live in Chapel Hill North Carolina for 4months to a year. This will be a big interruption in our lives but something we are hopeful for.
