Yesterday was the day for the third Endoscopy. The procedure began early. They took Eldon back around 9:10 AM and by 9:23 AM I was getting beeped that he was in recovery. I felt walking down the hall that it must be good news because this was the shortest time for all three. The doctor came in and said there were no varices and he didn't need to do any banding. There are some varices starting but he said he could push on them and the fluid would go back into the system. So now we don't have to have another one for another 6 months. This was very good news. The first thing he said to me when I walked into the room was "it doesn't hurt". He was very happy and so was I, this is good news and gives us a more positive attitude.
Now we can wait until next week to see any more doctors. On June 6th we see the Radiologist and on the 8th we see the Liver Transplant Clinic and at 4 PM we see our regular doctor. It will be nice to have some time off.
