This morning's update. The colonoscopy was this morning and the colon looks fine...except...at the top of the colon where it connects with the small intestine they found a bleeder. They stopped the bleeding, but they feel there are probably more in the small intestine. They have consulted another doctor and will decide if surgery is needed. Tomorrow morning at 10 they will pull bone marrow to check for cancer.
We're trying to stay positive and we haven't told him or mom why the bone marrow is being pulled. Daddy is very emotional and we don't want to stress him more than we have to. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
On a brighter note...he got to eat, so he's much happier than yesterday.
Please continue your prayers as, at the very least, it looks like we're facing surgery. Thanks so much for your love and support. Shannon and I take turns at the hospital, so one of us, or Angie and Teresa will keep you posted.
