Oh Dear

Well, first and foremost, I want to tell you THANK YOU for your kindness and prayers! DH came home today...NO surgery...kind of. He did have to do another endoscopy, where they take the tube down your throat and they stretched his esophagus again for the 14th time. They also saw a part of the stomach in the corner that was very red and inflammed so they biopsied it, I don't know when we will get the results. He has to go back next week for the colonoscopy. His CT scan checked out normal. The only bw that was bad was his white blood count was really high which means infection, they gave him IV antibiotics. They didn't send him home with any type of medicine which is weird to me... I have a call in to the dr office and just waiting for them to call back to see when the f/u is and if they are supposed to be giving medicine..

This all was so weird. He went in for a normal check up to a new doctor since he hadn't been seen in a few years and he has been having alot of issues with his stomach and esophagus. Because of his history and symptoms and vitals, they sent him straight over to the hospital. Now I wonder if they didn't over-react just a little. He has been having to deal with this kind of stuff for over 20 years with the Crohns. We just have to get a little better on the diet that he is supposed to follow, it is really hard for him!
