We received some confusing information regarding the results of Gavin's endoscopy and colonoscopy that took place last Friday. I received a phone call explaining that for the most part, his results were good. He does have what the nurse called mild gastritis but there wasn't an explanation for it. We knew all of this already because the doctor who performed the procedures explained everything at the time. What we are waiting for was the results of the biopsies and a plan for moving forward. The nurse on the phone was very nice and explained that we could keep him on the Nexium, which was confusing because he hasn't been in Nexium in at least eight years. I explained that and the nurse needed to check with the doctor in order…

We just arrived home. Everything went as well as expected. I'll explain what they found a little bit later on. Right now I'm going to be bed. Gavin is taking a nap and sleeping off the rest of the anesthesia. I appreciate all the support we've been shown in the last say or so as we prepped for today. Thank you very much.. ☺ I'll be back after I get some sleep.

We've made it and made it early, thrifty minutes early to be exact. We had anticipated construction but it didn't occur to me that we would be driving through before the workers started for the day. Anyway, we're here, checked in and waiting for a room. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that have been coming in all night. This should be fairly quick and painless. Let me tell you how much I don't want to be awake right now. 😉 Zzzzzzz

Everything is a go and I'm off to bed cause we have to be up and moving around 4 AM. I'm not looking forward to that at all but I'm grateful it's actually happening that early because Gavin won't have to go without eating any longer than he has to. In theory, and barring any problems, we should be on our way home by lunch time. I don't know if we're picking the kids up on the way home or if we're going to be able to sleep for a bit first. I know that all Gavin cares about is getting a burger on the way home. ☺ Speaking of Gavin, he's very nervous about the procedures. That's a bit unexpected because he was fine the last time. He was…

I need to get you all caught up on Gavin's status and whether or not his scheduled surgery is a go for tomorrow. I couldn't really share anything until this afternoon because I didn't get the final word until a few hours ago. There are three things that needed to be addressed before we could move forward with his surgery. So we're on the same page, Gavin is scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The doctors refer to it as surgery, I assume that's because of the biopsies but regardless, I'm keeping consistent with what terms his doctors and the hospital are using. I should mention that part of the complication with this whole thing is Gavin's overall health. As a result, he can't have the procedures done the way…
