Duke University Hospital incident

[Zog]

Paris, Jenn was discharged from Duke today.  We are at home in Mebane.  Jenn's calcium is doing okay after being off of IV calcium for a day.  She just started today's treatment on her NxStage.  It sounds like we should have a local IHD get together sometime.  Maybe get that guy from the toastie.st blog too?  Which center do you go to in Raleigh?  Jenn went to Fresenius near Duke Raleigh Hospital while she was a student at Meredith before her 3rd Transplant.  She gets her NxStage through DaVita Durham West now.

I hope Larry gets the care he needs.  If I were him, I would wonder about different access options or fistula ligation, but a working fistula is a working fistula, and you can only get a working fistula so many places before you have to get a graft or get stuck with a catheter, and those are worse options most of the time.  Jenn had a catheter exchange that almost killed her - sepsis.  Does Larry have diabetes, ASVD, or some other condition that affects his veins?

Hi Zog,

I'll have to get your questions answered next time I talk to Larry.  And glad to hear your wife is out!

Best Regards,
Chris
