Mayo was his third opinion. The previous 2 hospitals did not feel they could do much for him but Mayo has a treatment plan.

He is frustrating me through this virus. I am staying home so I do not bring any germs home with me to contaminate him (I am a very healthy individual) but he can't stay home. He's driving to town every day to purchase things. I do not want to have the guilt of thinking I made someone else sick who is already facing a huge mountain ahead but.......the rules don't apply to him (in his head).

Thanks Christine!
