Test Results

Tim just finished his Endoscopy not too long ago. He has an ulcer and Mallory-Weiss Syndrome or tears at the junction of his stomach and esophagus.

The doctor tried to inject fluid into Tim's g-tube from the outside but couldn't. Neither was he able to find the tube opening from the inside. He is having a CAT scan now to try and find the opening so that his stomach (the tube) will drain properly. This ultimately means less nausea which means less throwing up which means no more tears and no more bleeding. And if Tim does eat anything he needs to have soft foods.

Less nausea = good. Less throwing up = good. No more tears & no more bleeding = great! :) We are praying that the tube will function correctly and he'll be able to eat soft stuff again soon. See you soon!
