Home again, home again, jiggity jig!

Well after a very nerve-wrecking, tiresome week at the hospital we are back home. WP has been complaining of stomach pain for a month or so. Tuesday afternoon he began passing blood in his stool in copious amounts. I took him to the hospital. He lost about 3 pints of blood from Tuesday night until Wednesday night. The bleeding stopped spontaneously. He had an EGD Wednesday morning to see if he had a bleeding ulcer. It came back perfectly normal. Wednesday after his test he began doing a 2 day prep for a colonoscopy. He had his colonoscopy this morning and it came back normal as well. So at this point we know that he was bleeding so severely from somewhere in his GI tract that he lost 3 pints of blood but have no idea what the culprit is. The surgeon told us that he thinks it is probably a Meckel's Diverticulum or a liolypoma (?- or something similar). Meckel's diverticuli is present at birth but usually not found until adulthood. The other one is a small benign tumor that bleeds like crazy on occasion then stops spontaneously and is very rare. Both of those abnormalities would be located in the small bowel which cannot be seen on an EGD or colonoscopy. Our family Dr is supposed to be contacting a GI specialist in Laurel, MS on Monday and making us an appointment. I believe the next test they're wanting to run is one where WP has to swallow a small camera. The small camera will record what it sees in the entire GI system- mouth to rectum.
I am requesting prayers on his behalf. Anytime you are in a situation that leads to excessive blood loss there is a chance for it to be life threatening.

On a lighter note, Archer is precious as always. ;o) I kept hearing him holler, "A! A! A! A!" from his room. After he said it about 20 times I went to see what he was hollering "A" about. He was standing in the middle of his room pointing up to the wall where I have individual letters of his name cut out in wood, painted, and hanging on his wall. They have been there since he was born. I guess he is just now noticing them. When he was very young - 6 weeks or so- he would lie on his changing table after bath time and just giggle so hard looking at those letters.

I'm exhausted so I'm going to just go sit in my recliner and do nothing.
