friday night update...

...well for starters did you know that if you are not feeling up for going to a friday night football game you can always watch one on television>>>things must be pretty good because we are watching some high school football game: gateway vs penn hills (whoever they are).

the endoscopy is over and tim is feeling a little sore but with a little morphine and a little football and a couch i think he will be fine.

the highlight of the scope were the words "no obvious lymphoma" present. we liked that.

the confusing part of the scope were the words "multiple biopsies" and "multiple web" and "erythema" and my favorite one "pemphigus-like" (?).

so... we were pleased with the obvious and will have to wait and see about the rest. the doctor said that tim should have his esophagus stretched or dialated because of all the "web" but that he couldn't do it until they get the results of the biopsies back. apparently some conditions tend to rupture easily so they will have to wait.

there were certainly some esophageal issues found that need to be dealt with but i can't tell you any more about treatment now than i could last week. you all know the routine by now...in about 7-10 days we should know more. but all in all i think we will all sleep better tonight now that the scope is over.

i work this weekend. tim is in charge. field hockey make-up on saturday afternoon (4pm) and soccer game on sunday afternoon (1pm). megan turns 17 on monday...can you believe it...her parents seem so young to have a kid that age!! we have our last field hockey game of the season in gettysburg that night.

thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy
