Chapter 3 Tues March 25 thru Fri March 28

I don't remember too much about this day. I do know we went in for a blood test for hepatitis. Possibly Brock was at the office. I read up on hepatitis and soon realized I shouldn't be scouring the Internet to diagnose him myself. Over the years I have had a lot of success with figuring out things wrong with people. I've always liked medical news, shows, etc. But all this was best left to the professionals.
We have had trouble with not speculating about every step we've taken. We have to keep in mind God is in control and in the drivers seat.
I do know we were set up with a gastroentrologist. First in Auburn. Because of Spring Break, it seems all the doctor's offices were in a tizzy being short handed. They did find us one in Fort Wayne. So Tuesday was mostly phone calls setting up appointments and cancelling others. We didn't have to make any calls, this was all handled by various doctor offices. At this point we have been to 5 different doctors and in every one, the staff, the doctors have been incredible!
On Wednesday we went to see the gastroentrologist. We liked him immediately. He said to go ahead with the MRI scheduled for Thursday, but he was fairly certain it was a gall stone blocking the bile duct. He explained a procedure called an ERCP. He would use a scope to go through Brock's system until he came to the stone and poke it right through into the small intestine. But in the meantime, he ordered another blood test to see if his levels had changed at all since Monday. He also wanted to get us set up with a surgeon to have the gallbladder removed as soon as possible after the ERCP.
What a whirlwind, huh?
On Thursday we went for the MRI. Brock said it was weird and can understand why some people just cannot tolerate it.
On Friday I went and picked up his CT scan and MRI and delivered it to the gastroentrologist. A phone call later in the day confirmed that yes, it is a stone blocking the bile duct so the ERCP scheduled for Wed. April 2 was good to go.
I'll leave you here for now. Now that I'm putting this down in writing, it's no wonder we are exhausted.
Every day we thank God for all of you.
Our God is an Awesome God!
