Camera pill postponed until today

Family and friends,

I know you must be sick of me talking about all these camera pills. But they postponed this until today. The reason according to Dave was that Bob was actually going to have to swallow 2 of them and he was going to have to sit upright in a chair for 11 hours. Bob hadn't seen the wound care specialist yet and so they decided to wait until today. Wound care finally came at 7:30 last night. They put a duoderm patch to cover Bob's wound and determined that he has a "Stage 3 wound which means it's eaten through all the skin and has exposed fat. Trust me, my heart goes out to Bob. It looks like it hurts, I can only imagine how it feels. Also yesterday they took the cathedar out of Bob which is good, and both Dave and the physical therapists had him up and walking with the walker.

They are bringing Bob down to the endoscopy area around 3pm so I'll report once we hear more. Bob's parents are also coming down because Bob has requested his mom make him some spaghetti. At least his appetite is coming back!

As always thanks for keeping Bob in your thoughts and prayers.
Love and thanks,
Michele
