Update on Me

Here is an update on my stomach issue. In stead of just an upper GI they did both upper and lower GI's (fun) last Monday, January 26. My wife, Jennifer has some funny stories as some of you know what I'm talking about...you are really out of it. During the lower GI everything looked normal and they took a biopsy of the colon. During the upper GI this is what they saw and did:

• Stretched my Schatzki’s Ring
• Mild reflux
• Gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema (whatever that is) - biopsied
• Erythematous duodenopathy (whatever that is)
• The 2nd & 3rd part of the duodenopathy (whatever that is) - biopsied

The doctor started me on Nexium and I am waiting on the pathology results of the biopsy. It’s been a week now and I still have not heard from the doctor concerning the results. My stomach has done very well the past five days, I even pigged out with my 9/10 grade guys LIFEgroup during our Super Bowl watch party last night and my stomach did not bother me. I guess the Nexium is working well. It's a magical purple pill. I will share the pathology results when I here from the doctor. Thanks for those of you who have asked about me and who are praying for me.
