Mick had his endoscopy today & the doctor found several esophageal ulcers. I saw a few pictures of the ulcers and they look pretty nasty. The number of ulcers suggests a viral or bacterial infection; a biopsy was taken to help identify the cause of the ulcers and we should have the results in the next two weeks.
Mick is doing okay. He's actually feeling much better than he was just a week ago. He just ate an egg and some soup broth and hopes to be able to eat a bit more this evening. We were told to focus on soft foods and liquids for the next few weeks (which, frankly, is the most he can handle anyway).
We are relieved to know what the problem is and to begin to be able to take some actions to correct it. Thanks for keeping Mick in your thoughts.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I am looking forward to hearing good news and as fast a recovery as possible or at least less pain and misery.
