Decision time

Family and friends,

I spoke with the GI doctor this morning regarding the unsuccessfulness of the 3rd camera pill. They are going to be reviewing the pathology slides, the results from the 2nd camera pill that worked, and all of Bob's blood work over the past week to make a determination as to whether they want to proceed with the double balloon endoscopy or whether they believe Bob has stopped bleeding -if this is the case they will release Bob back to Bethesda tomorrow. At this point I told them whatever it is, they need to decide today because we've already lost a week that could have been used for giving him chemotherapy. The GI doc said he would call me back later today with a decision. In the meanwhile Bob continues to cough up blood although it is much less than yesterday. I will continue to follow up today with them until a decision has been made and let everyone know.

Love and thanks,
Michele
