Friday-Today started pretty early. We were up several times last night and then we left here at 7 am. We got to Sloan at 8:30. We got the bloodwork done and he was in the procedure room at 10:00. The doctor doing the scopes was Dr. Ludwig and she was so pleasant. They are all so nice there. He was in a great mood this morning, joking with everyone and not nervous at all. The colonoscopy and endoscopy took about an hour. I went to see him and he was groggy but doing good. He had a lot of cramping and was gassy. The good news is there is no cancer and no signs of gvhd. He has an extremely irritated colon and she did several biopsies to determine the cause. It could be fungus, virus or some tough bacteria. We should hear the results next week. He should be able to be treated with antibiotics orally. My biggest fear was cancer and then the gvhd. So I feel like we can fight a stubborn infection. I will be anxiously awaiting the news. We are home and he is resting and I am following right behind. We have a big day planned tomorrow with the fireman/police hockey game and I know he is looking forward to that. We are taking his friend, Tom and Tom's mom. Should be a fun day. Thanks, Craig!
