Colonoscopy Results

There was nothing found with colonoscopy. Layne didn't think that would be where the issue was...but, I guess now there's one thing checked off the list of possibilities. He thinks a CT scan would help. But, we're not sure when that will be scheduled. The idea behind getting the procedure done was to check for anywhere that there might be some internal bleeding. Apparently, that's the first box to check off when checking for reasons behind a low red blood cell count. (At least in this case.)
He seems to be getting more tired and weak. So, we'll see if we can get this figured out soon.

A Void

Layne is doing his liquid diet today for his procedure tomorrow. He didn't eat dinner with us tonight. It was a little odd. If he's home, we're used to all of us eating together. I felt a bit of a void while we were eating...something was missing. It also occurred to me that at some point in time five of us around the table would be the norm.

More Labs

There were more lab results today. There are still issues with the red blood cell count. The main issue is with the oxygen levels. He's to have a colonoscopy as soon as one can be scheduled. (He's not so thrilled.) It seems the conclusion could be internal bleeding and they would obviously want to catch that as soon as possible.

He's been told to not overdo things. That might not be too much a problem considering he's been more sedentary in the past week or so than usual. Although, we do have a family reunion that is mostly outdoors with an abundant amount of activities available. Maybe he and I will bring a book or two.:}
