Poke, prod, plow . . . Sarah is being such a good sport. It is seriously one test after another. I really am not sure what number we are on but she has had a lot of tests with more coming tomorrow and now, possibly on Friday. We were supposed to be done tomorrow. In fact, our closing consultation with our Mayo team is tomorrow afternoon but there is one test she supposedly really needs they have not been able to schedule yet. She is on a waiting list for that test and apparently it is a distasteful enough test that people often cancel it. So, we are going to stay an extra day to see if there is an opening so she can have that test.
We had a hopeful consultation with a gastroenterologist today who couldn't find much reason to suspect that Sarah had Scleroderma either. He was quick to caution us that she could still have it even though she didn't have a lot of symptoms showing but he did say if she did have it, she definitely had a mild case. We like the "misdiagnosis" diagnosis best but if that fails we will take the "mild case" diagnosis.
We have to be up really early to have Sarah over there for a procedure so I won't make this long. I will keep you posted on any news we get.
A funny aside. Last night about 2 a.m. Dad woke up, and proceeded to wake everyone else up for no apparent reason. I don't think ge was fully awake when he started talking. Mom was rather annoyed. Anyway, when he realized he'd woken everyone up and that he was in a little bit of trouble he went into this "Walton's Mountain Goodnight John-boy routine". We couldn't help but join in and laugh. It was pretty darn funny and went on for several minutes until all of us were laughing hard. Good idea Dad, when all else fails; go for humor! Lol! :)
