Update on GI x-ray

(I know it's blurry...this is a clear capsule that had little "lego's" in it)

So J had to take this really cool looking capsule that had little micro's in it. One of his siblings said it looked like little lego's. We were to wait 5 days and then go have J's stomach x-rayed. Monday was the day he was x-rayed. I hadn't heard any news, so I have the good ole GI a call. This afternoon we were told what our next step is. Seems to them that J didn't "let go" of all his micros or at least didn't release as many as they were wanting. So the choices we now have is either max out all the laxatives J is taking (which we are almost there...the magic pill he won't tolerate any higher dose) or...surgery. What type of surgery...no one knows. We will have a surgery consult on September 28th...yup, that is the soonest...like it's going to get any better before then. So we just sit and wait and hope good things start to happen to our family! (in more ways then you might know!)

What a challenge!!! Poor J. He must be miserable ALL the time. We keep his name on the prayer roll and hope that helps some. Thank you for letting us know some of what is happening up there.
