C'scopy Looks Great!

Deb successfully completed her colonoscopy at 630am this morning with Dr. Hala Toubbeh at the Perimeter Surgery Center. This was scheduled by Dr. Kabir Quadir in Gastroneterology on Wednesday. I am relieved to tell you that she did not find any damage to the Deb's colon/intestinal area which is the first great news we have had.

I could tell that Deb actually felt better after the c'scopy and is already home resting very comfortably in her favorite nest. The whole process only takes less than an hour. It is the day before that is a challenge in that you basically cannot eat anything and only drink clear liquids. It was funny that she was still a peaceful, sleeping beauty when the nurse told me she was ready to go. I didnt want to wake her up but I could tell they needed the beds to bring in some fresh cattle. Her anaesthesiologist who referred to himself as the iranian cocktail doctor must have fixed her a good one! :)

Next Steps
Because there was no damage found from this test, that means the Liver biopsy will definitely be the next test for Deb to take tissue sample. According to Dr. Toubbeh, the cells within the tissue sample should determine source of the lesion masses on her liver. I don't know the date or time yet but we are waiting phone call and guessing that it should be next Monday or Tuesday.

Keeping the strength!
