Dad had a good night sleep and his blood levels did rise just a bit from the two units of blood he received yesterday. He'll continue to have "more blood" until he reaches levels the doctors are hoping for.
His endoscopy procedure went well. They did a biopsy on the tumor to confirm that it's cancerous and during the procedure, the tumor wasn't bleeding.
Dad will be having a CT scan today to determine where in his intestines the bleeding could be coming from and to make sure there are no additional tumors bleeding. Radiology believes they can do a procedure to cut off the bleeding source and prevent the tumor from bleeding as well. Again, we will know more later today.
This is all good news in the sense that it gives us hope that are potential options that could help and not cause additional harm to dad.
We are so blessed to have you all in our lives and lifting dad and the family up in prayers. We are so thankful.

Just a reminder that you're always in my thoughts and prayers. I just hate that you have to go through all of this just to get attention! :-) I love you all so much and am standing in the gap whenever and wherever you need me.
