First day of tests at Mayo Clinic


Today Chad had tests all day. He was not allowed to eat until after his last test at 5:30 pm. We just got back from eating a large Greek meal across the street from the Marriott. Tomorrow we meet with the Doctors to go over the previous day of tests. Chad is still very positive about the surgery on Thursday. One of the main tests today was the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy which would check Chad's colon for the present severity of his UC. The GI doctor told Chad after the test that his colon was moderately ulcerated and appears the Remicade infusions were not controlling the Ulcerative Colitis. We will see what the Doctors say tomorrow about all of todays tests.

We are thinking about all of you and hoping things go really well tomorrow and that Chad is set for his surgery on Thursday. So glad you are at the Mayo clinic and that Chad's doctor is so experienced. Thanks for taking the time to post to the blog
Chuck and keep us posted. Give Chad a big hug and let him know we are sending all of our good vibes his way. Much love, Cathy
