Update on Test

We finally survived the test.  It was much worse than we thought.  We went Friday and after being there over an hour and lots of calls to the surgeon, it was determined they didn't have the right tools to get the contrast into Joe's bowels, so the test was postponed until Monday.  We went back Monday and spent 6 hours trying to get the test done.  They couldn't get the contrast past the main blockage and Joe got very sick.  They finally said they had to give up because he was getting so dehydrated and was extremely sick.  The nurse met me at home and we were able to get him fluids and medications and get him to sleep and avoid a trip to the hospital.  We went back today for more X-rays (with whatever contrast was left over from the day before) and had the tests complete.  They just aren't sure if the tests will yield enough results.  They sent the results to the surgeons and we are waiting for the surgeons office to call and set up an appointment to review the results with us. Hopefully, we'll know something within the week.

Keep those prayers coming.  We deeply appreciate your continuous support.  Joe just said this week how amazed he was that you guys still support and pray for us.  We are forever grateful.

XOXO
Sherrie

    Joe and Sherrie....you are my heros! Keep up the fight until you receive your blessings. Remember Jacob?

    And even though Jacob, had been severely injured, he still would not be denied: "I will not let you go unless you bless me." Now with the angel seeing that Jacob wasn't going to be deterred, he'd asked Jacob the question: "What is your name?" Jacob would answer the angel, by telling him what his name was. And after hearing Jacob's reply, the angel responded by saying: "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and men and have overcome." -- Genesis 32:26-28
