Prayers

I know most of you are on Dad's mailing list, but just in case I ask that you keep him in your thoughts & prayers. You might not check your e-mail but hop on to see whats happening on the 'Herald'. It will be a long day for them, he had to be at UCLA at 8:30am. It might not seem early but in SoCal traffic if they left the house at 6:00am they might make it on time. So please pray for them, Mom need the support too.

Here's Dads posting:

Today, 1-25-11, we had a visit with the UCLA GI Dr regarding tests of the small intestine looking for the cause of my anemia. First we will do a non-invasive look at the bowel using a small wireless video camera the size of a large pill. I swallow the capsule with the camera inside and it moves through my gut and intestines while transmitting video images to a small recorder that I wear in an external belt pack. This takes 8 to 10 hours for the passing. Great technology. I am doing this tomorrow,1-26-11. Next, in about two weeks they will do a deep spiral endoscopy through the throat. This is a corkscrew device that drags the endoscopy camera through the intestines. They can investigate about nine feet into the small intestine with this device. If they find something of interest they will do a biopsy and will remove any polyps they come across.
That's all I know for now.
