Travis had his colonoscopy yesterday. They were able to get him into the ER first thing in the morning. Dr. Volak came in and talked to us the night before, and we both really like him. He's the doctor Lynette referred us to in Tulsa, but he wasn't in the office on Monday. He takes time to sit down and talk with us and seems pretty laid back. Dr. Clark originally wanted to do a colonscopy and an upper endoscopy, but he was too inflamed to have the full procedure. Volak wanted to get in so he could make a diagnosis. He called the room immediately after the surgery to talk to me and he's pretty certain it is Crohn's. We have to wait for the official biopsy to come back, but Volak has no doubt that it will be Crohn's. My mom came up to sit with me at the hospital while Travis was in surgery. She stuck around for part of the day, but wasn't able to be there all day. She was studying for a test for school and needed to make sure she would have time to get home.
For now, we plan to be here for a few more days. Travis won't be able to leave the hospital until he can eat and pass solid food, get rid of the inflammation in his abdomen, urinate without any problems, and stave off the fever. He's feeling better, but the medicine they gave him last night kept us awake most of the night.
