Nolan Creasy is in RMH and will be having a colonoscopy Saturday. His pediatric doctor suspects Chron's disease and said the colonoscopy will help them to diagnose if he does or doesn't have it. Due to his nutrition issues they're going to keep him into next week and give him some nutrients / iron.

Diana Woods MOH'S surgery on her head was successful after going in 4 times! They're having to keep the wound open and she has to sit up for 48 hours (meaning sleeping as well).  

Kathy FIrebaugh is an EGD Friday, Nov. 14 to check and see how things have progressed since her last one a few weeks ago.

Dustin Dodge is in RMH. His problem is tied to his congenital defect. He's been referred to a UVA congenital specialist. His pulmonary valve is leading significantly. Hs heart valves and the other heart valves are being affected by the unequal pressures in the heart chambers. In the interim, a cardiac electrical specialist is being summoned to see about an under-the-skin monitor being inserted which would notify the hospital of significant irregularities.

Debbie Thompson had her doctor's appointment Monday and it went well. She still has some inflammation so still having to use the steroid eye drops. Thankfully she's done with having to lay with her face down through the day! Now it's for the healing process to work! Doc said it will take a few weeks to know for sure. Prayers she regains full sight back in her right eye.

Julia Parker's appointment with her doctor was not good Monday. She was told she has some nodules on her lungs now. They're going to do a PETscan Nov. 11 and take biopsies Nov. 14. They think it's cancer but don't know for sure. She was told the "good news" was they're on the outside and not inside. If they are, they want to do chemo. The blood clot in her stomach has her on blood thinner now. If this does not clear up, she was told it could be cancer. The pancreatic cancer has not grown.
