The plans are set for Donna's transfer to Roanoke!
As of this morning (Friday), the plan is that she will leave Duke about 10 a.m. Monday and will be admitted to Roanoke Memorial on the oncology unit, where she was when first diagnosed with leukemia. Roanoke will then assess her and determine where she will need to go from there; i.e., a rehab facility or other determination.
One thing we have all learned over the last 90+ days is that things can change in a flash. In fact, this transfer was originally to take place today and has already been pushed to Monday.
Donna is very excited about the prospect of being moved back to Ronoake where she is closer to especially her husband and children, so please continue to keep this in prayer.

ReplyDeleteDr. Merten stopped me in the hallway at the office today to tell me she had heard from Duke and you are coming back to us. She is anxious to see you and see what we can do for you. Hopefully, this is just what you need to recover. Hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteLove and Prayers, Gwen
Gwen--I hope you are still on and see this, we are so excited to have Donna coming back to Roanoke into Dr. Merten's care and near her family and friends. It is so good to hear that she is anxious to get Donna back to help get her on her feet!!! If u see Dr. Merten again please let her know how much we appreciate her jumping in! donna's sister Jan
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
ReplyDeleteThis is great news! I know you will gain strength by leaps and bounds when you are in familiar territory. We know that God will guide in every step of this transfer and look forward to having you back home.
Love to my sister in Christ, Celeste
This is very exciting news and I pray that all will go well. Couldn't come to Duke but Roanoke sounds good! Antioch friend
ReplyDeleteHello!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am that you're coming 'home'! I have talked with you before and you talked about Dr. Merten, and you sounded so happy to have her as your doctor. I pray you will still feel the same way, and I feel like you will, since you will be home! I can't imagine how tremendous that really is. I've not been in that kind of situation. But, I do know that the word 'tremendous' is no where even close to how you and Joel are feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteGod has been with you both through this, and will be with you when you get 'home'.
It feels great just to think of you being back up here! I love you!!
