We are home.
He isn't pain free but the pain medicine (Oxycodone) is doing a good job of controlling it at least. He is also on Naproxen for any inflammation.
We know nothing for sure yet. The doctors ran a lot of blood work, some of which has to be sent to Barnes's national headquarters in Denver for testing and will not be in for at least two weeks. They are also doing an intensive urinalysis and done a MRI last night. Of course it is a holiday weekend so we will not know anything till Tuesday once everyone starts working again.
As of now they think he is suffering from some sort of autoimmune disease, possibly Lupus. Joey has several family members with Lupus so it would stand to reason that is where they are turning their concerns to.
