An update on Bryan
Bryan met with his surgeon a couple of hours ago. They went over the results of the CT scan that Bryan had this morning. There are several areas in his small intestine that are have been effected by his Crohn's disease. The surgeon is not recommending surgery at this point because they really don't know which area the bleeding is coming from. (He is still bleeding a little, I think.) Tonight he is getting a treatment of Remicade, a medication administered by IV which he has had in the past. The doctors are hopeful that with Remicade and Bryan's current medications the area that is bleeding may heal on it's own. It is possible Bryan may even be discharged tomorrow. We're not sure how we feel about this. Although avoiding surgery is always a plus, it's hard to be convinced that Bryan will not just end up in the ER again.
