Results from Endoscopy

Dad had his endoscopy procedure this morning and thankfully they were able to find the source of the internal bleeding.  In the small bowel below the stomach, the doctors found a new tumor that is bleeding.  The next plan of action is to give dad some frozen blood and vitamin K which should help clot it and stop the bleeding.  They will also be giving dad more blood which should help him gain strength and hopefully allow him to be discharged from the hospital.

Thank you to the many of you that have lifted dad and our family up during these past few days.  We can give praise to finding the source of the bleeding and giving the doctors wisdom on what to do next.  We continue to pray that the bleeding will indeed stop and dad can come home.
