I guess about everyone knows Melissa has been having stomach problems (to put it mildly). Friday she had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. A hiatus hernia was found in the esophagus and mild erosive gastritis in the antrum (I am assuming that means the stomach). She has moderatly severe colitis found in the entire colon. So they have started her on several medications. Hopefully they work (soon). They were concerned about her rapid hear rate. She was suffering from that today to. Figuring that is part of the over active thyroid she was just diagnosed with when they did the blood work up for all of this. She goes to the thyroid doctor on Thursday. She's not thrilled with the fact they usually kill the thyroid for an over active one. I'm hoping getting it under control gets everything else under control also.
So that is the details for those who did (or even didn't) want to know. Hope everyone else is doing well. I hope Jess and the boys are resting comfortably and they are staying put.
Love to everyone, I miss you all. Hope to come home for a visit soon.

I hope Mel starts feeling better. Once the thyroid is under control it will be easier to the other problems under control. Having the thryoid zapped isn't bad at all. Mine was done when we lived in Knoxville. I also have the hernia which was found in Knoxville as well. I have taken meds every since and only have a few problems every now and then.
Love to all.
