Mom went down to check on John early this morning hoping for good news on his test. And...NO MORE OBSTRUCTION! WOOHOO! Go John! This is such great news and we are all so happy for him as I'm sure he is excited, himself. I'm not quite sure if he got his cinnamon toast yet, but I know if he hasn't he will soon; he really deserves that with everything he has done for me and has been through. He is still one of the most amazing people I have ever met and am so thankful for him and his family.
Dr. Emre came in to see me this morning with his whole team and said that I am still going home today as planned. I am still having chest pain when I swallow so they will do a few tests before I go home, but we will just try to control the pain with medications for now. I have to go back to the clinic twice a week for a check up's for a while, so no REAL break from the doctors, but better safe than sorry. I will be having my first follow up appointment on Friday and another on Monday. Accompanied with Monday's appointment will probably be an endoscopy to make sure that there are no perforations or larger tears in my esophagus causing this chest pain. Dr. Emre doesn't think that there are, but he wants to just make sure. Because like always, when everyone else is a horse...I am the zebra. When things are extremely rare, they still seem to happen to me. But please continue to pray that only good news comes out for the next few months, John and I really don't need any MORE issues than what we've had. Dr. Emre also told me that he will be sending John home as well either today or tomorrow...which is music to MY ears. I am so happy for him and hearing this trumps any aggrivation I have with this feeding tube. Knowing my angel and life saver is healthy enough to go home, is the best news I could ever get.
I can't wait to get home and sleep in my own bed tonight, I'm sure John is thinking the same thing about his own bed. You never really realize the simple things you take for granted...
