Yesterday was a great day for us. Jason has been have some problems with his throat/swallowing lately and went in yesterday for an endoscopy to check things out. We were both nervous because his symptoms can be caused by some pretty serious conditions (i.e. cancer) but we put it in God's hands knowing that no matter what, He would see us through. Jason was VERY nervous about the whole thing because he HATES needles and pretty much any other thing related to medical treatment in general (he gets squirmy just talking about shots, IVs, etc). He had to get an IV for his procedure and that was probably the thing that he was most nervous about. He had to be there VERY early so a good friend of his took him to the hospital and then I came as he woke up from the procedure. God blessed him with wonderful nurses, doctors, etc. who took great care of him. The doctor saw a small irritation/ulceration at the top of Jason's esophagus....right about the point where you swallow, which is why he was having trouble swallowing. He will have to take a medication called Gaviscon for a while to help it heal and he also has to give up coffee. I think this is probably the worst part of the whole thing for him!!!:0) We are so thankful that it was nothing serious....Praise God!!
We went out to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate Jason's good news. Here are some pics:
