EGD Today for Greg -- GREAT Results!

I'd like to start off by apologizing for not getting this out sooner as I know that many of my Facebook friends have been waiting to hear the results.  My work day was a bit messed up and I had to finish working once we got back from the hospital, and then well, other issues in life got in the way.   

Let me start by saying GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME,  AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!   That should give you a bit of a clue about how the Esophagogastroduodenoscopy went!  HA!  Decided to use the "big" word!  LOL  I'm sorry, I'm just a bit giddy about all this!   

So, here you go!  The doctor told us that if he had not known Greg's history, he would have given him a clean bill of health!   There was no narrowing of the esophagus and absolutely NO SIGN OF CANCER!   He was completely amazed at how awesome everything looked!  

Of course, we need to hold on a minute and can't start rejoicing just yet, as there is always the possibility that there is cancer underneath what can be seen on the outside.  So he took some biopsies and we should have the results from those in a few days.  We also have a PET scan scheduled for Friday, which will show us if there is cancer in any other parts of his body, including anything that may still be in his esophagus.  The previous PET scan did not show any metastases (spreading), so we need to continue our prayers that nothing shows up on the PET scan.

As we don't know the rest of the results, we cannot even begin to hazard a guess as to what might be next.  Assuming there is no cancer and no more treatment, then he will be able to have his PICC line  and removal of the PEG  (stomach) tube!  I know he will be incredibly happy to have that stupid tube gone!   And, it is my goal to have that all gone before Aaron's wedding on October 7th!  I know it sounds a little selfish, but I know Greg wants it all gone as soon as possible, too.  

Please continue to keep Greg in your prayers, as they are most certainly working!   Per James 5:14, (Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.) this past Sunday at Church, we had the Church elders and the rest of the Church body pray over Greg as they have done time and again and our prayers are being answered.  THANK YOU, FATHER GOD!
