Scope is an ugly word

Well... It looks as if they are going to scope my stomach. This means they will put me out and I will swallow a tube with a camera on it. They're going to try to get me in tomorrow and then we wait to find the results. I'm praying that it's not graft vs host disease because they treat that with steroids. Could be an infection or ulcers or the lovely beast I mentioned earlier. I'm still hanging in there, thank you so much for your prayers and support, they are what keep me going when all seems lost. Really thank you so much.

  3. Good luck with the scope. I'll be there Monday so I'll probably pop my head in to bug you guys. You looked so good on Thursday, I was so happy to see so much improvment! You are amazing Rachel, really, truly amazing. Only choice people are strong enough to go through this kind of trial. Thank you for being such an example to us and to Erin. She loves you!

  4. Ewww... swallowing a camera. Sounds harder than swallowing pills, and that has been hard enough! I hope there are some nice people there visiting you right now :) Good luck with the stomach scope, hope it gives some answers. Love you!
